In this episode of Fire Law Roundup for January 13, 2025, Brad and Curt discuss a jury verdict that the city of Mobile did not wrongfully terminate or retaliate against a fire captain who was dismissed in 2022; the arrest if a Tennessee firefighter on charges that he used emergency lights and flashed his badge during a road rage incident; an appellate decision in New Jersey overturning the denial of an accidental disability pension to a firefighter; in filing of a lawsuit by a San Francisco firefighter injured in 2009, claiming the city’s racist practices and negligence led to his catastrophic injuries; and the filing of a lawsuit by the widow of a New Bedford deputy chief who has shot and killed by police officers, claiming the psychotic break that precipitated the shooting was the result of two years of abuse and humiliation orchestrated by the city’s mayor.
