Maryland Volunteer Fired
Looks like things are starting move forward on the Maryland misconduct incident (from nbc4.com).
LARGO, Md. -- A suspended volunteer firefighter has been terminated from the Prince George's County Fire and EMS Department because of an altercation at a fire in Landover Hills on Feb. 13....
Part of the confrontation was captured by a neighbor's camcorder. As flames shot from the home, Moses Nicholls said he grabbed his camera, but he captured more than flames. Nicholls recorded an angry Kentland volunteer firefighter screaming profanities at a volunteer from Bladensburg, after the Bladensburg firefighter accidentally drove his ladder truck over a water hose, cutting off the supply.
Then the Kentland volunteer got more aggressive, and the tape shows he eventually shoved the other firefighter.
I can understand the firefighter being upset when the water supply to the house was cut off, but he should have handled it in a professional manner.
I wonder what would have happened if the neighbor had not caught his actions on video.

The fight was no big surprise to those who know Prince George's county. Just check out the PG section of The Watch Desk under Maryland. But the fight should never have happened.
