Fire Chief’s Termination Met With Protests
It is hardly unusual these days for a fire chief to be terminated. Fire chiefs are under attack from all sides – including angry firefighters, and upset political bosses.
What is unusual is when a community rallies around a fired fire chief. That is what is happening in Nowata, Oklahoma. In fact there are protests at city hall by citizens who are upset with a decision to terminate Fire Chief Don Belden. A Facebook page by Nowata Citizens for Positive Change has taken up the chief’s cause.
Here’s a video covering the story.
