Reedy Creek's Professional Firefighters Association president Jon Shirey said he hasnât heard much from the districtâs administration about what the future holds for Reedy Creek employees.
âWhatâs going to happen with their jobs as a whole? Whatâs going to happen to benefits like retiree health care?â Shirey asked. He said hundreds of first responders will be impacted.
âWe basically cover about 210 first responders out of the total workforce of 370 Reedy Creek employees, so weâre 58, 59 percent of the total workforce so itâs a pretty big deal for us," Shirey said.
Whether the district will be dissolving is still up in the air.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill dismantling it, but constitutional rights experts question if the state has violated Disneyâs first amendment rights.
Itâs possible Disney could sue the state.
In the meantime, the firefighters' association is stepping up to make sure their team is taken care of.
