On May 4th, we participated in a press conference to address ongoing concerns with our fleet. While the addition of a single engine represents progress, it does not resolve the broader issue. Our fleet is aging and continues to deteriorate daily, requiring a more comprehensive solution.
During this press conference, we referenced an incident 66 days ago in which our members were required to operate out of a vehicle not designed or equipped for their assigned duties. Unfortunately, this situation occurred again on May 4th when Ladder 29 was taken out of service due to mechanical issues and replaced with a vehicle lacking comparable capabilities.
Our fleet not only requires replacement on an appropriate and sustainable timeline, but it must also be maintained at a fully operational level to ensure our members can safely and effectively perform their duties to the citizens of Columbus. ... See MoreSee Less

Every fireground task is time‑critical. Search, rescue, ventilation, fire attack — they all have to happen at once. When we’re understaffed, we’re already behind before we even step off the truck.
The IAFF is right: sending “everybody” only works when you actually have everybody.
Investing in staffing is investing in survival — for the public and for us.
