The Fort Worth City Council has unanimously approved a new collective bargaining agreement, securing a pay raise for the city's firefighters and first responders. The four-year contract includes a 5% pay increase starting in 2027, with additional raises over the duration of the agreement. The deal, which follows months of tough negotiations, ensures that no staffing cuts will occur in the Fort Worth Fire Department, which bolstered its ranks by 400 employees in 2025 after integrating Medstar ambulance services. Despite earlier tensions, both the city and the firefighter union have reached a mutually beneficial agreement.
