By David SloneTimes-UnionWARSAW – Due to financial uncertainty caused by Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1), the Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory (WWFT) has adjusted its plan from a couple years ago to hire six new firefighters – two per fire station – in 2027. Instead, Fire Chief Joel Shilling told the WWFT Board on Tuesday, Aug. 4, while presenting his department’s 2027 budgets to them, they’re looking to hire three new firefighters – one per fire station – and one inspector in 2027. The last proposed budget Shilling presented was the fire pension fund at $281,480 in 2027, up 2.18% from $275,480 in 2026. The next meeting of the WWFT Board is at 4 p.m. Sept. 1, at the Warsaw City Hall Council Chambers.
