Do your rules allow sex offenders to remain a firefighter?

This video asks a disturbing question: should sex offenders be allowed to serve as firefighters, and if they are already firefighters when they are convicted, should they be permitted to remain serving as firefighters or be terminated?

 

I think the question is disturbing because it is even being asked. In fact it is scandalous for anyone to even consider that such criminals be allowed to serve as firefighters, and enter peoples homes when they are most vulnerable and helpless. You can’t make this stuff up!

    You’re right Curt–you can’t make this stuff up! What rock have those firefighters & their chief been living under all these years? And they VOTED the guy back into the department after he got out of jail! Like the comedian Ron White says, “You can’t fix stupid!”
