The Los Angeles Fire Department is investigating an incident in which a firefighter “responded inappropriately” after being handed a letter to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate, a department spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The Stentorians of Los Angeles City, a group representing African American firefighters, said Wednesday that the LAFD member responded to receiving the non-compliance letter by dropping his pants and wiping his buttocks with the letter, leaving fecal matter on the document. He then dropped the letter on the ground.

The alleged incident underscores the deep resistance among some within the Fire Department over the city’s mandate that employees be vaccinated.

LAFD spokeswoman Cheryl Getuiza said the alleged incident occurred on Nov. 18. “The department is aware of the seriousness of the allegations and took immediate action upon learning of this incident,” she said Wednesday, but declined to comment on the details.

1. Classy

2. He should be fired.

Refusing to be vaccinated shows wanton disregard of the health and safety of the people he is entrusted to help as a first responder.

Firefighter jobs are highly sought after in CA. They are one of the few jobs left that allow you to retire at full pay at 55. And the pension increases each year with a cost of living adjustment to keep up with inflation. Let the many waiting in line to get these plum jobs who want to be vaccinated take this idiot's job.

...does he walk around in his own poop all day, or did he shove one out in front of everyone just for this occasion?

Public Safety. Beyond being just a horse’s ass as well.

6. Why did someone who cares so little about others want to be a fire fighter?

Seems like a really odd choice of profession for this asshole.

8. Money.

My brother-in-law retired from firefighting around age 52. He worked in California. His pension check is over $10,000 a month after taxes are deducted.
