10-10-17 Detroit Firefighter
Ray starts the day with the story of the story out of Detroit. Detroit’s Fire Commissioner Eric Jones confirmed that probationary firefighter, Robert Pattison, was terminated for work behavior deemed “offensive and racially insensitive”. When asked if Pattison deserved to lose his job over the watermelon, Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty said he wasn’t sure. “Between what he did and losing his job, there were a few things that could have been done,” McCarty said.
