The sit down will bring the relevant parties together to discuss the findings of an investigation into the various allegations previously highlighted by the Fire association concerning the Fire Chief.

Felix says he is highly suspicious of the meeting given the fact that the Fire Chief was informed of the gathering before the association was apprised of the matter.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday afternoon at the Public Service Ministry. Felix says he hopes this will not be an exercise in futility.

He adds that the plight of fire officers has been put on the back burner for far too long. He says he hopes it won’t get to the point of strike action because it would be detrimental to the public.

The Fire Chief has expressed confidence that he will be absolved of any wrongdoing following the release of the findings of the report.

Felix on the other hand claims there is far too much overwhelming evidence of the Fire Chief’s alleged infractions for the findings to be anything but damning.
