Oakville Professional Firefighters Association president Ken Janisse, however, was not in the mood for Gould went on to tell Council not to expect a threeâ€"man crew to act as much more than an emergency mediâ€" cal team since regulations prohibit so few men from entering a burning building. (The minimum onâ€"scene requirement for working a fire in a single family home is 10 firefighters plus a platoon chief.) In short, "injuries, fatalities and dollar loss" may result from Council‘s decision. Fire Chief Wayne Gould said the 13 firefighters would increase the level of fire protection but cautioned Council about the realities â€" and danâ€" gers â€" of using the resulting threeâ€"man crews. He said he was willing to wait for the implementation of fourâ€"man crews but in the meantime would have to use overtime, surplus salaries and benefits for backâ€"up from other stations to make up the difference without going overâ€"budget. The result was a compromise between Town Hall‘s financial obligaâ€" tions and the Oakville Fire Department‘s responsibility to proâ€" vide adequate service while maintainâ€" ing safety for its employees. "I‘m not happy even standing up here suggesting it," said Wagland. Councillors made it plain that hirâ€" ing the 21 immediately was the preâ€" ferred option but found themselves voting against the right thing because of fiscal restraints. In tabling the ‘"hardest motion I‘ve had to make on Council," Ward 4‘s Mark Brown admitted as much but shifted blame back on the province. He said it was never premier Bob Rae‘s intention. to put the community at risk but the end result speaks for itself. TRIM $1.2 MILLION Deputy Town manager shared in Brown‘s discomfort as he outlined the options open to Council as it wrestled with trimming $1.2 million in Social Contract obligations.

He said he resented the impression that those councillors voting against the eight on Monday are endangering the town. Ward 5 councillor Liz Behrens, however, succeeded in deferring action on the additional eight fireâ€" fighters until next year. Brown called this a "stalling tactic" and said a deferral only delays a vital decision. "I don‘t think the public will accept three men who refuse to (fight a fire) because it‘s too dangerous," said Brown, adding that he did not expect "heroics" from firefighters but for them to do their job. DEFERRAL ON EIGHT Mark Brown then moved a series of staff motions which included the hiring of 13 firefighters in August and eight more by July 1994.
