Remember that massive fire at Nolan's Restaurant in Canandaigua back in July? City officials faced major criticism for not properly staffing the fire department. Now, officials are taking steps to change that. City council has voted to add a deputy fire chief position. A part time administrator recently retired from the department and city officials took the chance to increase the budget for that position and turn it into a deputy chief. After the fire at Nolan's, critics claimed the department was not adequately staffed for fires of that magnitude. The department is staffed with nine firefighters. Two work are always on 24/7. If a fire like Nolan's happens, officials will call in volunteer fire fighters.
