Middletown Council Approves Firefighter Contract
The common council late Wednesday approved a new five-year contract for city firefighters - in a vote that was delayed as department members rushed to fight a two-alarm blaze in a vacant house.
The new pact for Middletown firefighters and fire officers will increase wages by 17.7 percent over five years, promote four firefighters to lieutenant and bring in four new firefighters. The latter was an economic sticking point for some council members.
The raises would cost an estimated $1.05 million over the five years. The cost would decrease if several veteran firefighters retire, as expected.
