Florida Town Mulls Fire Department Merger
--
Leaders in Winter Springs are deciding whether or not to merge its fire department with Seminole County's.
Winter Springs charges its residents an extra fee for its fire department and all fire departments in Seminole back each other up already so homeowners would see little difference in service.
The firefighter's union said Winter Springs firefighters may not get the same pay or treatment if they become part of a larger department.
A special meeting to discuss the merger proposal is being held Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Winter Springs City Hall.
