Refusal by Cairo Firefighters to Obey Chief Brooks
Local 1516 of the International Firefighters Association notified Mayor Tom Beadles that 13 of 16 department members would no longer take orders from Fire Chief Bill Brooks effective Monday. The union cited intolerable working conditions, but said duties would continue and orders from other department officials would be followed. Fire Commissioner Herman Hirsch suggested insubordination risks and a possible test case before the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners.
