VIDEO: Waukesha's former fire chief is firing back at the woman he had an affair with. Jesse Alba and his wife, Vickie, are bringing a defamation lawsuit against the woman who ultimately played a role in Alba losing his job. After a promotion to Waukesha's fire chief in May of 2013, Jesse Alba quickly found himself fighting to keep his job. Months later, he was demoted. Now, he's struggling to even get interviews with departments. "The impact of not working now has an impact on my family and how I'll spend the rest of my life," said Alba.
