Toledo firefighters may face layoffs if a proposed safety levy does not pass in the upcoming election. Union president Joe Cira informed members of the potential job losses. The levy, Issue 16, aims to fund emergency services through a temporary income tax. If the levy fails, the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department could be forced to reduce its staff. This could impact response times and the department's ability to train new recruits.
