VIDEO: Budget cuts in the city of South Tucson have reached unsafe levels, according to firefighters at Monday night's city council meeting and more of them are calling it quits. The council chambers at the city's municipal complex were packed full of firefighters and concerned South Tucson citizens. The fire engine bay doors won't be closing for good, it's the people inside going through the permanent changes. Fire Captain Rick Raimondi is one of 22 South Tucson Fire Department firefighters who have submitted their resignation to the city, effective Feb. 28. The next day, on March 1, if all goes as planned by the city council, the department will no longer be staffing its engines with four firefighters.
