ORLANDO -- The president of the Orlando Professional Firefighters union says the layoff of 45 firefighters "would be the end of the Orlando Fire Department."
As of Oct. 2, 46 firefighters will be laid off and 20 of those firefighters will not be replaced.
According to President Steve Clelland of the International Association of Firefighters Local 1365, the cuts would be devastating. "They will not be able to deliver fire service," Clelland told News 13.
Firefighters learned of the layoffs Wednesday morning at 6 a.m. at the Orlando Fire Department training center.
