Washington City Council has handed down disciplinary action against three firefighters. In a roll call vote with councilman Joe Pintola absent, council unanimously suspended one fire fighter for two weeks with an additional period of 60 days of ineligibility for overtime. A second fire fighter was demoted from captain and then terminated. A third fire fighter was terminated. Neither Fire Chief Chris Richer or Mayor JoJo Burgess would elaborate on details of any incident. Both issued statements pointing out that at no time was the public involved, nor was there any danger to the public. They will remain silent on the details to allow the accused to have their due process in finalizing their incident. Swearing in was also held for one new firefighter while another was promoted to Fire Department Engineer. According to Richer, the department has two fire fighters attending the Fire Academy with an anticipated graduation date in June. The department is fully staffed at 22. In addition to the fire department actions, the police department accepted the retirement of Captain Von Lacock, a 23 year veteran. They also swore in Police Officer Lt. Michael Cain. At the end of the meeting, Mayor JoJo Burgess announced a Job Fair that will be held May 12. He also announced a low income housing program that is in its early stages. He stated that the city is working with the Redevelopment Authority of Washington County and local contractors to renovate abandoned homes to sell to low income home buyers. Burgess hopes to have the first home closed by the end of this year.
