FIREFIGHTERS TO FACE DRUG TESTING

Cincinnati firefighters got a new contract Thursday, one that says about a quarter of them will be randomly tested each year for alcohol or drugs. 

Firefighters - about 800 work for the city - initially rejected the contract, but agreed after city officials changed the testing wording to specify exactly how many.  Those numbers: 80 for alcohol, 120 for drugs. 

City Council members approved the contract.  Members of the International Association of Firefighters Local 48 already had.
