The PFD has been understaffed for years. They work with 2 officers and 10 firemen staffing 3 engines and 1 ladder and 1 tower out for 3 firehouse per shift. They average 5500 runs a year with a good amount of working fires. The engine you see out on Hooker ave is not in service ever. The rigs that do run are pretty beat up. They are past the point of doing more with less and the 7 hires will help but they need more.
