The St. George Fire Department sues its own firefighters??!!
🚨 WHO IS FUNDING THIS LAWSUIT? 🚨
That’s the question every resident should be asking right now.
Here’s how the St. George Fire Department is supposed to work:
➡️ Metro Council appoints Fire Board Members
➡️ Fire Board Members appoint the Fire Chief
➡️ The Fire Chief answers to the Fire Board at public meetings
But something isn’t adding up.
🧾 There are no public meeting minutes showing that the Fire Board approved the lawsuit against your firefighters. (https://www.stgeorgefire.com/board-of-commissioners/)
💸 No line items in the proposed budgets that show where the legal funding is coming from.
❓ So we ask:
Who is authorizing this lawsuit?
Who approved spending potentially hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars on lawyers — not fire trucks, not gear, but lawyers?
Why has the Fire Chief not provided transparency to the public or to the firefighters themselves?
🔥 If this lawsuit was never approved by the board, is it even legal?
And if board members are not fulfilling their duty to oversee this department, should Metro Council replace them?
We are asking for your help — the public we serve — to demand answers.
👉 Contact your Metro Council representative.
👉 Attend the next Fire Board meeting.
👉 Share this post and help us push for truth and accountability.
Our firefighters primary focus is on public safety but have no doubt we will fight this personal attack on our firefighters with passion!
