The hiring of four new firefighters is being recommended in a proposed $37.3 million budget now being considered by Merrimack officials.
Aside from the addition of four new firefighters, Town Manager Eileen Cabanel is also proposing the hiring of a part-time conservation officer, a part-time general government employee to assist in human resources and half-year funding for a police officer and highway foreman.
âThe (town) council made a commitment for four firefighters,â explained Paul Micali, assistant town manager. The cost of hiring those four employees, which includes benefits, retirement and equipment costs, is $460,300, he said.
The call volume for Merrimack Fire Rescue has increased more than 23% since 2010, according to officials. The fire department currently staffs nine firefighters for each of its four shifts, although the addition of four firefighters will allow 10 firefighters to be working during each shift.
