An Orange County firefighter’s decision to paint a confederate flag on a county-owned fire ax has resulted in a 12-hour unpaid suspension, reports wftv.com.
The ax was discovered at the scene of a house fire in Pine Hills.
The report claims a black man who lived at the home that was burning was already upset about the fire at his home, so when a fire department lieutenant saw the ax with the flag painted on it, he told a supervisor about it and took it away before the homeowner saw it.
