GARY, Ind. — Capt. Marvin Brown, former president of the Gary firefighters local, will serve a 10-day unpaid suspension for refusing to respond to a medical call in January.
The Gary Fire Civil Service Commission issued the punishment at its meeting Thursday. The board made the ruling after hearing testimony about the Jan. 23 incident at two prior sessions.
Brown was in charge of Station 5, located at 4101 Washington St., when an engine was dispatched to a home seven blocks away for a call of a 4-year-old girl with a stomach ache.
