This week marks 100 days since Chief Reginald Johnson took over the Charlotte Fire Department which had to extinguish a few fires of its own with accusations of low morale and discrimination. Before Johnson took over, a group of Charlotte fire employees sent an anonymous letter to city officials which outlined concerns about unethical promotional practices and a lack of women and minorities in leadership roles. Johnson said he met with those employees directly. "Let's just be clear that people's interpretation of how things are in the fire department has a sense of reality to it, so we have to take those concerns seriously,” said Chief Reginald Johnson.
