Fire Law Blog Fire Service and Public Safety Legal Issues Blog by Curt Varone
In this episode of Fire Law Roundup for December 18, 2023, Brad and Curt discuss a dispute between volunteer fire companies in New Jersey; a decision by the California Court of Appeals ruling that a critically injured San Francisco firefighter cannot sue the transit authority or bus driver who caused his injuries because they both work for the city; an appellate decision out of Louisiana upholding the denial of a promotion; a ruling out of New York that a firefighter who resigned cannot later sue and challenge the reason he would have been terminated; a wrongful termination suit brought by a California fire chief; and an Iowa fire department that found itself at the center of a dispute over whether a nativity scene violated the First Amendment’s establishment of a religion clause.
