Chief Lon Winburn responds says 1 volunteer fiefighter terminated for unacceptable behavior, both for discrediting the department

Fortuna Fire Chief Lon Winburn responded via email this morning to the post yesterday about the termination of  two volunteer firefighter.

"The person that wrote the letter was terminated from the department for unacceptable behavior. The District Board backed the decision to terminate unanimously. The decision to revoke exempt status for both was due to discrediting to the fire department, the exemption was upheld by both the department membership and the District Board."

He added: "doubt seriously that the fire district will want to make any additional comment."
