Chattanooga: Large fire academy starts

The Chattanooga Fire Department today started a new fire academy thought to be one of the largest in the department’s history.

Thirty-two recruits were welcomed into the academy this morning by Fire Chief Randy Parker, department spokesman Bruce Garner said in a news release.

The recruits will graduate as firefighters on May 20, 2010, if they complete the academy.

If they can hire 32 firefighters why won't they hire any police officers when they are so short staffed? Oh that's right...I bet most of these firefighters are going to staff the new Volkswagen fire hall.
