The Seattle firefighters union IAFF Local 17 warned that Mayor Katie Wilson's budget proposal to reduce overtime funding could extend fire response times.
The mayor's plan calls for a $7.06 million cut to overtime, which the union says would lower staffing resources and result in longer response intervals.
