So just give me one second.
1:59:38
Let me get my notes up here.
1:59:39
So I just wanna talk a little bit about the fire marshals.
1:59:43
What's your operating budget for the fire marshals and how many do you have?

So our our budgeted head count for fire marshals is a 10 and we currently have 92.
2:00:03
Our budgeted headcount for supervising fire marshals is 26 and we currently have 24.
2:00:10
As the commissioner mentioned earlier, we do have approval to move forward with a fire marshal class.
