Eight of Vernon’s auxiliary firefighters (a part of the Vernon Volunteer Firefighter Association), have recently simultaneously resigned.
According to a firefighter that wishes to remain anonymous, the resignations came after “months of neglect, failed mediation and all-around disrespect to the members of the VVFA.”
City of Vernon communications manager Christy Poirier confirmed that Vernon Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) received notice of eight members wishing to resign, however, she stated that “the resignation of the VVFA members is in no way responsible for the chief’s recommendation to Council.”
