The department is so short-staffed that a fire station was completely out of commission because there were so few staff available, and those that were on duty, were tasked with being present for medical assistance at a Kenny Chesney concert.

The staffing crisis at the Seattle Fire Department is so dire that one whistleblower said "someone is going to get killed," and is worried the city will not take action to solve the problem, even if the victim is a Seattle firefighter.

According to internal documents obtained by The Post Millennial, as of July, there are "more than 110 vacant positions for uniformed SFD members" in the department, and the shortfall is expected to last "12-18 months" at minimum.

Firefighters told The Post Millennial that the department is so short-staffed that last Saturday night, a fire station was completely out of commission in the Queen Ann neighborhood because there were so few staff available, and those that were on duty, were tasked with being present for medical assistance at a Kenny Chesney concert.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

I'm amazed that anyone would want to work for PD or FD in Seattle.
