OLMSTED TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Cuts could be coming to the Olmsted Township Fire Department.
Leaders announced plans tonight to lay off five of the township’s 17 firefighters in the next 30 days.
The news blindsided members of the fire department who packed Wednesday night’s trustees meeting to show their displeasure with the move.
Trustees say they need to cut the fire department’s staffing in order to balance their budget.
