Kinloch firefighters say they won’t show up for work until the district board is overhauled.
Assistant Fire Chief Tim Rhodus said 19 volunteer firefighters went on strike Saturday because they say they have been disregarded by board leadership.
“The entire district, all of its members, have just taken a leave of absence today as a strike against the administration and their blatant disregard, lack of respect and racial discrimination for the firefighters. There is no one to run the firetruck and service the residents and will not be until some changes are made,” Rhodus said.
