Three Orange Township Fire Employees Terminated For Poor Conduct

orangetwp.org

The Orange Township board of trustees last night voted to fire three fire department employees after an allegation of physical violence against another firefighter was made. 

Township officials have also accused Captain John Hodges, Lieutenant David Martin, and paramedic Bradley Belville of hazing and harassment. The three were accused of verbally and physically abusing a part-time firefighter earlier this year at Station 361 on Gooding Boulevard.  Officials became aware of the conduct when the accuser requested a transfer in September. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
