Latest news coming out of the Crowsnest Pass

Just found this on Facebook anybody know anything about this please confirm one way or the other.



"I just wanted to get the attention of the Sun (Facebook friends the CNP too) on an issue in the Crowsnest Pass today. A 34 year volunteer firefighter (Fire Chief) was fired for reasons other than just cause. Reasons that are completely seemingly fabricated. After the municipal council made the decision to cancel the Blairmore Fire Department's 19th Annual Thunder In The Valley fireworks display they have been looking for ways to remove the head of the Blairmore Fire Department and anyone who is not willing to be bullied by the current Mayor and his puppets. Tonight municipal officials called a meeting with Station 24 (Blairmore Fire Department) explaining what has happened. All 11 members to were able to make the emergency meeting turned in their pagers, quitting the department at the disgust of which a 34 year volunteer was treated."
