Dozens of reserve firefighters in South Tucson received termination notices via email. This action follows the city's decision to partner with Rural Metro for fire services. Some affected employees expressed feelings of deception, stating they were not directly informed of the changes. The transition meant these part-time firefighters, who relied on the income, lost their positions with little notice. The city maintains the department's branding will remain the same despite the operational shift.
