No time for basis week Day Up Day, featuring veteran news anchor kt fon tweets. Here are the important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.

Speaker 5

I'd like to start the City of Plano, and I'd like to take the Plano City officials to task. Plano City officials are declining request from firefighters to adopt a new shift that's becoming rather popular nationwide for firemen and women. Plano firefighters currently work the twenty four hour shift with the forty eight hours off. We've heard this for years. Was very interested by the fire fireman shift. It again, they're on and then they're off. So twenty four hours

on then eight hours off. Yeah, but what's been taking off nationwide is the forty eight hours on and then ninety six hours off. So firemen, firefighters, firefighters.

Speaker 3

Fire women.

Speaker 1

Yes, I thought they were called fire hose. Uh no, that's you put the fire out fire out vernacular.

Speaker 5

But firefighters, their wives and other supporters spoke to Plano City Council members Monday night to urge them to consider the schedule change.

Speaker 3

The answer was no, Christina.

Speaker 2

I mean, if it's working for the other firemen, why and women? Okay, well firemen and fire women firefighters. It was working for all the other firefighters.

Speaker 5

Yes?

Speaker 3

Or do they have water on the truck? Both? Yep?

Speaker 5

Both, but you but not a large supply, Yeah, because that would make the truck slower and could be it heavier. Damnites, they run a lot.

Speaker 3

Of red lights. Okay, now yep. The answer was no. And here's my question. What couldn't the answer have just been maybe, yeah, we'll look into it. At least Plano doesn't get down like that. Dude. You know what? You know what planose dealers.

Speaker 1

They're like, Look, we're pretty much maxed out with our population. There's not a lot of new development. Depending on what happens at Colin Creek, We're good. We don't need you coming in here telling us what to do.
