Volunteer firefighters in Summit County facing suspension, accused of refusing shifts and service calls
The administrative control board of the North Summit Fire District said it plans to suspend all of its firefighters indefinitely after hearing these allegations.
This included one firefighter who allegedly refused to respond to an accidental shooting in Echo Canyon that claimed the life of a 58-year-old woman. The Park City Fire District has been responding to emergency calls since these issues came to light, board members said. Then in Friday's meeting, Park City Fire District Deputy Chief Pete Emery said he's willing to have his department take over North Summit duties for 30-60 days under"automatic aid," where emergency calls to dispatch would go directly to PCFD.
