Dayton Fire Chief Jeffrey L. Payne said the city is safe, despite temporary closures, so-called “brownouts” at certain fire stations. News Center 7’s Sean Cudahy sat down with the chief today after talking Monday night to the union leader representing the city’s firefighters, who again expressed concerns about staffing levels in the city. When massive flames engulfed two semi trucks just before 6 a.m. at Love’s Travel Stop, Station 10, the nearest firehouse, was not staffed. “Obviously as chief of the fire department, I’d love to have a bigger fire department,” Payne said. “But I believe at our staffing levels we have enough staffing to adequately serve the city.”
