IAFF Schedules Press Conference - Updated
THIS AFTERNOON AT 2:30 pm EDT, the International Association of Fire Fighters has scheduled a press conference. It is expected that they will be addressing the incident last week in Charleston, So. Carolina. There have been many questions raised concerning the incident command, tactics, and preparedness.
The Post & Courier reports that:
Roger L. Yow, president of the Charleston Firefighters Association Local 61, was on the scene of the furniture store fire and has not yet publicly spoken about the incident. Yow retired from the city fire department in 2003 after 25 years of service.
“We are just going to talk about the promise I made to the guys that night,” Yow said told The Post and Courier Wednesday. He declined to elaborate.
Firegeezer will keep updated.
Update: The press conference was held in Charleston and speakers were Roger Yow, Mike Parrotta and Larry Osborne. An edited video of the presser is HERE.
