Happy Ending for SC Firefighter
Remember the firefighter from South Carolina that was fired because he became the son-in-law of another firefighter which violated a city policy? Well, it looks like things a turning out fine according to this story from tuscaloosanews.com.
The Rock Hill firefighter who lost his job after marrying the daughter of a fire captain at another station in the city has found work, as a firefighter in his hometown of Findlay, Ohio.Matt Cooper, 25, was fired in July after a judge refused to let him keep his job while he challenged Rock Hill's anti-nepotism policy. The policy bans relatives, including in-laws, from working in the same department.
Findlay, Ohio, a city of about 40,000 people about two hours of Lake Erie, doesn't have such a rule. Cooper's father, Robin, works as a captain in the Findlay Fire Department.
