New firefighter sworn in, Youngstown FD now fully staffed

VIDEO: Monday morning marked a monumental moment for the Youngstown Fire Department. Nathan Hruska was sworn in as a new cadet Monday. This brings the YFD to full strength with 125 firefighters on staff.

โ€œThat brings us up to 125. That means, since I just hired him, every single truck on every single turn will have a complement of four โ€” a lieutenant, a captain and two firefighters,โ€ said Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley. Hruska will be assigned to Station 12 on the East Side starting this Wednesday. He was sworn in by Mayor Tito Brown.
