]]> Comment on Fire Captain expected in court Thursday – NBC12 by Fellow PFD Firefighter http://www.vafirenews.com/2010/02/fire-captain-expected-in-court-thursday-nbc12/comment-page-1/#comment-7780 Fellow PFD Firefighter Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:18:20 +0000 http://www.vafirenews.com/?p=8537#comment-7780 As a firefighter in Petersburg, I appreciate the coverage by the news, and by this NEWS website. The other Captains, Battalion Chiefs, Assistant Fire Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, and the Fire Chief want to keep this HUSH HUSH. Captain Ivey will or rather, has had a day in court today. The fact that he "allegedly" mistreated animals/dogs should be told and should be known. I applaud Chesterfield County Animal Control for investigating the matter, I also applaud the measures of the news both Television and Local newspaper for keeping its citizens informed. As far as the union goes.... What union? The brotherhood within this department has been so divided since the unions inception, quite frankly the only thing Local 2773 does is take money from its members, because it darn sure doesn't do anything to fight for the firefighters Safety, Pay Parity/Equal Compensation, Workers Compensation Matters. Also Captain Richard Jordan, why are you even backing Local 2773, you were the president, then you dumped it on the current President after you quite Petersburg Fire to go to Chesterfield Fire - EMS. Instead of worrying about how the news covers Captain Ivey, How about speaking your voice and help the "Brotherhood" of Petersburg Fire Department and make change happen, instead of prohibiting it... Sincerely, X As a firefighter in Petersburg, I appreciate the coverage by the news, and by this NEWS website. The other Captains, Battalion Chiefs, Assistant Fire Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, and the Fire Chief want to keep this HUSH HUSH. Captain Ivey will or rather, has had a day in court today.

As far as the union goes…. What union? The brotherhood within this department has been so divided since the unions inception, quite frankly the only thing Local 2773 does is take money from its members, because it darn sure doesn’t do anything to fight for the firefighters Safety, Pay Parity/Equal Compensation, Workers Compensation Matters.

Also Captain Richard Jordan, why are you even backing Local 2773, you were the president, then you dumped it on the current President after you quite Petersburg Fire to go to Chesterfield Fire – EMS.

Instead of worrying about how the news covers Captain Ivey, How about speaking your voice and help the “Brotherhood” of Petersburg Fire Department and make change happen, instead of prohibiting it…

Sincerely,

I assure you that I am not the judge or the jury. I merely post the news on this news site. Neither I nor the article say anything about Jeff being guilty. I merely linked to the news story about his future date in court. If indeed he is innocent, this could be viewed as positive and that his day of justice from wrongful accusations and arrest are near. As for wronging a Union Brother...This site has nothing to do with my Union activity. Richard,

Ivey is not welcome by us here with the PFD of the PPFFA Local 2773. Way to be a true union brother. Capt. Ivey is innocent until proven guilty and we would have expected a fellow firefighter to not be a part of the negative light this whole situation has put on us here in Petersburg. The television media is doing what they do best, sensationalizing the incident to grab viewers. What is your justification?? Not whats in the best interest of supporting your fellow brothers and sisters thats for sure. Thanks alot!!!
