This is the story of a Fire Chief who was forced to resign. Someone stood up and said something and other people actually looked into him… and found him lacking. I share this story and these links to inspire people to say something. If you know you are right, stand up. You may meet people who do not honestly check into it. But you may meet people who will. And you can effect change. No lawyer needed. Just properly applied pressure.


I will say that I think the title is a bit overblown. I think he screwed up and got caught and this should be over. Let him retire. This already serves as a warning/deterrence to others, (IMO). This is a screenshot of some comments from this video.

A few more links to the story. There are many more, but basically the same information.
