Jeannette Fire Chief Bill Frye says he is one of the two full-time firefighters his department has at the moment. There is another full-time first responder who has been off work since March after being injured in what turned out to be the tragic blaze that took the life of a father and four young children. City Manager Ethan Keedy says staffing is an issue for many municipal departments in Jeannette, and he and the city council are looking into various options to find and fund workers. For now, the city is relying on part-time and supplemental firefighters to keep the emergency service operating.
