Apparently things aren’t any better at the supervision level.

I hear it the new fire extinguisher training lol
Agreed, more to this story still to be revealed. He always had a good reputation and was easy to work with.
Did he just snap or something? Such a wild story.
I meant to take for repair. I remember mechanics being let go.
The first group to get cuts were the mechanics. They laid off the entire in one shot
They can’t afford mechanics anymore?
No surprise here However I wish him the best, This place takes a toll on your well being
Dr-gs + catalytic converter
According to another article he was fired after the incident. Was he trying to fix something on two trucks and have something go wrong? Hard to imagine he “torched” them as the articles imply. He was also arrested nearly a month later. Something doesn’t add up.
Not looking too great.
Hopefully he can clear his name but if it is true that’s a terrible crime to commit especially as a fireman. I’d like to hear the back story (fired, quit, just fed up with the company vehicles etc). I’d imagine with cameras it’s pretty easy to see who is in a general area. Arson is also pretty easy to identify so as a firefighter you think someone in his position would know this. It just doesn’t seem like something anyone with common sense would commit let alone a supervisor and fireman.
He’s a stand up dude , and innocent until proven guilty! Wish him nothing, but the best! … best supervisor ever had!
What a shame. He was a good guy too.
