Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins says that each day the fire department responds to three to five encampment fires. He also said that It's taxing a fire department that is short-staffed. It is reported that the department is operating with 9% fewer firefighters than has been budgeted. They are in the process of recruiting for 90 firefighters.
