This I just received from a firefighter blog I subsribe to....
Chester (PA) Firefighters and Fire Commissioner James Johnson reached a mutual agreement today and ended their conflict, partially over the display of an American flag on a locker, personalities and very high emotions.
A rally of just under 100 folks protested outside the fire house in support of FF James Krapf this morning. As you know, FF Krapf was suspended last week after he refused to remove an American flag sticker off the outside of his locker under a newly implemented department directive. The "new' directive required firefighters to remove all decorations off their lockers and was ordered by The Commish after one of his other 61 firefighters posted a cartoon that others found offensive. After today's meeting, Commissioner Johnson, FF Krapf and union leaders announced that FF Krapf would be reinstated and the directive would be rewritten to allow displays in line with the U.S. Flag Code.
How 'bout that!?
