Firefighters Oppose Plan To Cut Paramedics

The Columbus firefighters' union is protesting a city plan to cut the number of paramedics. The proposed cost-cutting move would send only one paramedic on an emergency call with an EMT, instead of two.  Union leaders say the proposal would put lives in jeopardy. City officials say no changes are imminent.
