The Minneapolis Fire Department made its case to members of the City Council’s budget committee on Tuesday for more than $85 million of next year’s city budget.

As previously reported by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, the department has seen service calls go up, but staffing hasn’t kept up with that pace.

Mayor Jacob Frey wants the money to break down into three parts: $63.1 million for fire suppression, emergency medical services and technical rescue; $10.6 million for community risk reduction and outreach and another $11.8 million for training and recruitment.

The plan also comes after a recent report by Minnesota Fire about PTSD and mental health, which showed 1,400 firefighters received mental health treatment across the state last year. The most recent numbers – through August of this year – show more than 900 firefighters have received help, which is on pace to exceed last year.

“We’re experiencing a significant increase in mental health claims. So, we are trying to find ways to take care of our people in any way we can,” Chief Bryan Tyner previously said.
