BUDGET FUNCTION
The bedrock of our organization can be found in the Mission Statement of the Waterford Fire Department. The
goal is to safely achieve our mission while remaining fiscally responsible, professionally effective and proficient
in the use of all appropriate resources. It is the responsibility of each member to support the mission. The
Waterford Fire Department provides services to protect the lives and property of Waterford’s residents, businesses
and visitors. This encompasses fire protection, technical rescues, medical emergencies or exposure to dangerous
conditions caused by nature or humans.
Waterford is a changing community. With the vision to transform today’s fire/rescue service into a developing,
proactive and professional service we will be working toward exceeding current demands and future needs. Our
service delivery will continue to be enhanced through training, education, planning, and teamwork.
An essential function of the Department is to provide a positive presence in the community. This can be achieved
with increased interaction within our community with our firefighters, fire marshals and community safety
_.educator.

FY2024: BU DGET REQU EST
_ DEPARTMENT: FIRE SERVICES _
BUDGET SUMMARY
The FY23-24 budget total for the department has an increase of $123,198 or 3.61%. Contributing factors to this
increase are line item expenses for Full-Time Firefighting, Rental of Hydrants and Fuels and Lubricants. Total
Personnel Costs (51000) increased by 1.99%. The net of this increase is due to Full-Time Firefighting increase
of 15.28% with reductions to Administration and Part-Time Firefighting lines. Total Services (52000) increased
by 9.10%. The net of this increase is due to Hydrants increase of 18.33% with reductions to numerous services
lines. Total Materials & Supplies (53000) increased by 5.92%. The net of this increase is due to Fuels and
Lubricants increase of 53.22% with reductions in numerous lines. There was a reduction in line items for
Equipment (54000 series) resulting in a decrease of 21.19% from the prior year RTM appropriated budget.
There are many building projects started and/or coming shortly consisting of apartments in different areas of
Town in addition to single family homes, affordable housing and senior housing. The large growth will require
additional services from Police, Fire and EMS. As this budget is being prepared, the Fire Department continues
to provide emergency operations with a core of 12 full-time and 10 part-time paid staff, augmented by the
continued use of volunteer fire protection services. The need to add additional firefighters continues to increas:
each year as the lack of volunteers continues across the country, state and Waterford. Time commitments, training |
requirements, working and balancing family life has changed the volunteer firefighter. This is a balancing act of
available firefighters needed to protect Waterford’s residents and businesses. Taking this into consideration I
have made the decision to focus our budget on staffing resources. In order to adhere to budget constraints, in lieu
of the position of an Assistant Chief, I have elected only for this upcoming FY, to forgo this position in order to
support the hiring of additional full-time firefighters. With the emphasis on staffing we have reallocated funds
that were previously dedicated to other expenditures. To meet the demands of Waterford Fire Department we
need to increase paid staffing and increase efforts for volunteers in recruiting, educating and benefits of their
incentive plan.
Firefighter safety and the effectiveness of fire suppression service are closely linked. Firefighters cannot maintain
the same level of aggressive fire suppression services while receiving fewer and fewer resources of personnel.
Those personnel resources were our volunteers for many years. Waterford, along with many communities, are
struggling to maintain volunteers. Over the last 20 years, deviations from the industry’s standard regarding
recommended acceptable levels of staffing per unit of response have seriously compromised firefighter safety.
Firefighters are needed to complete the tasks faced to mitigate the hazards whether it is volunteer or paid staff.
We will continue to collect data that shows the trends affecting Waterford and make necessary changes as needed
to keep our personnel and community safe.

FY2024 BU DG ET REQUEST
_ DEPARTMENT: FIRE SERVICES _
In July of 2020, the Representative Town Meeting passed a Volunteer Incentive Program that provides a stipend
to qualified Firefighters and Fire Police based on a $7.00 per call point system. This system is currently being
used and has been reviewed at the end of FY22. I have brought forward to the Public Protection and Safety
committee the changes and recommendations for the Incentive Program. Recruitment and Retention remains the
number one priority in the fire service across America and the challenges we face with declining volunteers.
Waterford Fire Services has been committed to attracting new volunteers with public education, local events,
banners, flyers, and social media.
The remainder of this budget has various increases and decreases that are driven by collective bargaining
agreements, approved non-union pay scales, and/or historical expense data. We truly appreciate the support
extended from the town in our continuing efforts to provide an exemplary level of service to our citizens,
businesses, visitors, and industrial partners.

Michael 7 Howley
