In this episode of Fire Law Roundup for November 11, 2024, Brad and Curt discuss the resignations of three members of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue as the investigation continues into the deadly training exercise that claimed the life of non-firefighter; a $1 million lawsuit filed by a bicyclist injured by a Columbia River Fire & Rescue ambulance and then billed for the ambulance transport to the hospital; a decision by the Massachusetts Court of Appeals upholding the bypass of a captain seeking promotion to district chief; the termination of a fire chief amidst allegations of retaliation for his having joined an FLSA suit; and a lawsuit filed by a los Angeles County firefighter alleging the county’s failure to address the ongoing harassment by another firefighter violated state anti-discrimination laws.
