Nutter: Fire union stirring "hysteria"

Mayor Nutter denounced an ad campaign by the city's firefighters' union as "akin to someone shouting fire in a crowded theater."

Following a press conference on a new fund-raising effort to keep city pools open, Nutter addressed a campaign by Local 22 of the International Association of Firefighters that includes a dramatization of a woman calling 911 to report a fire only to learn that the nearest ladder company had been eliminated and she would have to wait for the next closest one.
