On May 1st, 2004 the Fire-Rescue Department transitioned to a
pay-per-shift department hiring fulltime fire and rescue personel from
surrounding communities to operate in a part time scheduling arrangement.
The pay-per-shift program was implemented to address concerns regarding
employee recruitment and hiring, and to improve general response time of
emergency service personel. After the transition to a pay-per-shift program,
the Northfield Fire-Rescue Department now has the capabilities to provide
full emergency services coverage on a 24, 365 basis to all residents within
the community and surrounding areas.
