Fla. Chief, Two FFs Gone Amid Harassment Allegations

Amidst allegations of inappropriate conduct, a Fla. fire chief and two firefighters are gone.

They left the Lake Butler Vol. Fire Dept. after three female firefighters claimed they were being sexually harassed, according to news4jax.

Among the allegations are that the three men made comments threatening to rip their clothes off, touched them inappropriately and tried to take picture of them naked, the station reported.

An investigation is ongoing. However, reporters noted that residents in the small town are talking and taking sides.

Lake Butler City Manager David Mecusker said: “Basically the fire chief resigned and then, the two firemen that were involved, they were told that we no longer needed their services.”
