Warren City Firefighters say they are being asked by administrators to make concessions or face additional layoffs.

City administrators say they are working with all the unions to try and balance the budget.

Firefighters say they feel City Hall is threatening them and they are losing faith in the Mayor.

The Mayor says he has also been in contact with state and federal officials hoping he will be able to get some additional funding for the fire department.

Several firefighters met with us Tuesday morning to say they were called into a meeting at City Hall on Monday to discuss Warren's financial situation.  The firefighters say they are being asked to help save the city about $430,000.  If they are not willing to make the concessions, they were told 15 more firefighters could be laid off.  Eleven firefighters were laid off in January.
