The Brainerd City Council Monday night unanimously approved a resolution restructuring the Brainerd Fire Department from a mix of full-time and paid on-call firefighters to a fully paid on-call department. The department currently has five full-time equipment operators who work over three shifts to staff the fire hall 24 hours per day. The ongoing discussions will now focus on the council’s adoption of the resolution. The estimated payroll costs of the proposed structure amount to $677,734. This creates an estimated savings for 2016 of $265,929.
