Seth Haley, president of Trotwood (OH) Firefighters Local 4024 joins host Jim Burneka on this episode of APS Radio. They discuss the proposed layoffs of five firefighters from the City of Trotwood and the SAFER grant they were part of, which expired in February 2025. The conversation addresses the implications for community safety, staffing shortages, and firefighter morale—especially amidst rising call volumes and fire incidents. Haley sheds light on internal department dynamics, nonessential roles, and legal protections around layoffs. They emphasize the urgent need for community support and open dialogue with city leadership.
