Firefighter cancer-risk reduction grant
The fire department is applying for a FEMA grant to buy 71 extra sets of turnout gear so firefighters have clean second sets, cutting cancer risk from carcinogen exposure. FEMA would pay 90% of the roughly $300,000 cost.

Fairfield firefighters have a new union contract after seven rounds of talks. It covers pay and benefits and will shape how the city budgets for fire services. If you live or work in Fairfield, that’s the fire staffing and spending picture for years ahead.
