BEL AIR, Md. — Four Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company firefighters, who were suspended and/or demoted for their improper Facebook posts, have lost appeals of the disciplinary actions, Chief Eddie Hopkins said Monday.
An appeal for a fifth firefighter, who is facing termination from the volunteer organization, is still pending before the board of directors, according to Hopkins. “Everyone who got suspended, obviously, they appealed and their punishments were upheld,” Hopkins said.
The firefighters who were suspended, demoted or both were disciplined by Deputy Chief Rick Davis. All four appealed those actions to Hopkins, who upheld the punishments.
