Promotional Opportunities
CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN WAS LAST COVERED BY FIREGEEZER on April 9 (HERE) when the fire chief and deputy chief were both demoted and fined. They were punished for spending $15,000 without authorization on kitchen cabinets and granite countertops.
Yesterday (Monday) the Twp. announced that they have terminated the employment of the former deputy chief, Royal Russell for dereliction. Russell, more recently a battalion chief, was unavailable to answer a fire call despite attempts to reach him by radio, telephone and cell phone.
After refusing to offer any explanation for his absence, the Board of Trustees voted to fire him on July 14. With 22 years service, he will be allowed to collect his pension in three years, but his health insurance benefit has been taken away.

Our local intercept paramedic has a small garage / office isolated in an industrial park they are usually alone at.
Particularly sound sleepers who’ve missed the page and the telephone call have been rousted at oh-dark-thirty by a State Trooper sent to do a well being check.
