also in the bounce house when it went up escaped with only minor scratches and bruises. the two boys were not as lucky. they fell about 15 feet. >> by the time the ambulance got here and everybody and they rolled him oat every over and put him on the stretchers, his face and whole front of his body were covered in blood. >> reporter: after the boys were thrown from the house, it continued to travel hundreds of feet. witnesses say the owners of the house had put it up correctly and staked it securely in the ground. >> the parents were out there too and i mean, anything that could have been done wrong was not. everything was done properly. >> reporter: elizabeth cook, kpix 5. >> both those boys are now hospitalized with serious injuries. now a story you'll see only on kpix 5. san jose has one of the most thinly staffed fire departments in the nation due to budget cuts and now there's talk of reducing the number of firefighters on each engine. kiet do on why city leaders think that plan means better

service. >> reporter: it could be san jose's unofficial motto: do more with less. >> in reality it's do less with less. >> reporter: right now, san jose fire shows up with four people per engine. it doesn't matter whether it's a huge blaze or minor medical call. but with a tight budget, mayor reed said in his state of the city address it's time to rethink four-man teams. >> another option is to follow the rest of the fire departments in the county who deploy three firefighters on an engine. >> reporter: the mayor is talking about neighboring agencies like the santa clara county fire department, who assign three people per engine. so in san jose, it might work like this. the city has 30 fire stations, shown with the red markers, each with four-man crews. in theory, if you take a firefighter from each station and regroup them, would you have 30 firefighters to put on to 10 engines which you could then redeploy around the city. >> that staffing change alone would allow us to open all our fire stations, eliminate our brownouts and improve response times in medical emergencies.

♪[ music ] >> reporter: the san jose firefighters union is fighting back with a media campaign. they blame the slow response times on the layoffs and station closures from back in 2010. san jose also has one of the lowest numbers of firefighters per capita and fire stations are on average 6 miles apart. the union says to model three- man rigs after smaller cities as their map shows you would have to build another 31 fire stations. that seems a little crazy. >> therefore, you cannot reduce from 4 to 3. you cannot reduce because firefighter safety will be compromised. fires are going to get bigger. and the true outcome is we're going to continue to not make response times. >> reporter: the fate of the fire department could be determined by the next mayoral election. front-runner dave core tastecy is the only candidate who thinks reducing down to three men per rig is a bad idea. >> we shouldn't be playing that kind of russian roulette with firefighters safety. >> reporter: since 90% of emergencies are medical calls, the fire department is over

deploying. >> we could be more efficient and effective if we're willing and the question is whether or not we have the will. >> i want to be able to open all the fire stations to provide adequate services and if that means we have to go from four firefighters to three firefighters, that is the right way to do it. >> reporter: and back here live at fire station 33, which is relatively new and has been closed for a couple of years now, the fire union says before doing anything drastic, let's try reactivating, restaffing some of these closed fire stations and engines and then we'll talk. michelle? >> kiet, the firefighters union is not okay with the three-man squad. but we understand they are fine with the idea of a two-man squad. >> reporter: yeah. you know, both the city and the union, there seems to be growing support for these rapid response two-man teams that are in smaller vehicles because the vast majority of these calls are medical in nature. if done right they say it just might work. live in san jose, kiet do, kpix 5.
