In this episode of Fire Law Roundup for August 7, 2023, Brad and Curt discuss a case involving a FDNY EMT who was caught stealing from a patient in an undercover sting operation; a Lansing firefighter’s third lawsuit against the department alleging a violation of his First Amendment Rights (among other things); a cheating scandal involving the Cobb County Fire Department resulting in 7 members being disciplined; a ruling by the US District Court for the District of Nebraska has concluding the Lincoln firefighter/EMT Amber Benson raised sufficient questions of fact to get her sexual harassment and retaliation claims to a jury; and a ruling by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that EMS personnel who mistakenly pronounced a disabled woman dead, cannot be held liable for her subsequent death under a civil rights theory, despite the fact their error delayed life-saving treatment.
