Since there's so much interest in the outcome of the contract talks I wanted to let everyone at least know that an agreement was reached yesterday on the contract provisions. The Joshua City council approved it last night as did the ESD board. At midnight Joshua cut over to a different dispatch center and began responding to calls in our city only unless mutual aid is requested from neighboring departments in which we have agreements with. Once the final details are finished with the attorneys and we get signatures I'll go into more detail on the process and the outcome.
Thank you for your support of the city and the fire department!

I'm proud of the City of Joshua and Mr. Baker. This will serve the citizens of Joshua very well indeed. I have a few quotes regarding risk-taking that I believe epitomize what I have seen in the city staff, our mayor and councilman and Mr. Baker...

This nation was built by men who took risks - pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, business men who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action. ~Brooks Atkinson
Keep up the fantastic work everyone!!
