Fire officer fired for rating ‘best in bed’ female firefighters

A report found the fire service had a toxic workplace culture that was hostile toward women, which led to the resignation of a long-serving fire chief

QUEENSLAND, Australia — A Logan firefighter at the center of a Facebook sex scandal has been fired.

The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services announced last night that a 33-year-old officer from the South Eastern region had been dismissed “due to behavioural misconduct and sexual harassment.” The Courier-Mail understands the officer is Jon Wreford, who was criminally charged over a firefighter’s Facebook ‘straw poll’ which rated which female colleagues would be best in bed.

Wreford was charged with using the internet to menace, harass or cause offence and faced Beenleigh Magistrates Court in April. But the charge was dropped when prosecutors offered no evidence.
