Stafford County Fire Chief Joeseph Cardello is proposing an overhaul to the department's schedule.
If approved, he said Stafford County would be the only department in the region with this type of schedule, making recruiting a "breeze."
The department aims to replace its "Kelly" shift, where firefighters and EMS crews work a 24-hour shift, then take 24 hours off, and then repeat the process twice before taking four consecutive days off. Cardello said that the "Kelly" schedule is typical with most fire departments in Northern Virginia, with employees working 56 hours a week.
