A Charleston firefighter resigned his post after he said he felt slighted by the chief's response to a July rescue.
Cameron Day, 32, rescued a woman from a historic home at 48 Smith St. the afternoon of July 14, as flames and smoke consumed the building. Former tenants of the building said the woman had run back into the house after learning her cat, Banjo, was left behind.
The former city firefighter had gone into the structure fire without all of his equipment, a city spokesman said Tuesday. Both he and the woman he pulled from the fire that day were taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
