These days when you are having a bad day there is always seems to be someone with a camera. So far no one has explained what prompted a Fort Wayne firefighter to start pushing and shoving his fellow firefighters outside of a burning apartment building Wednesday morning. Here is what WANE-TV is reporting:
A Fort Wayne firefighter has been placed on medical leave after he became involved in a shoving match with another firefighter at the scene of a fire at the Willows of Coventry Apartments. NewsChannel 15 camera caught the incident on tape. Fire Chief Pete Kelly told NewsChannel 15 that the firefighter’s actions can be linked to stress.
