Volunteer vs. career? Investigation underway into whether Pennsylvania chief withheld water from paid crew.

WTXF-TV is reporting an investigation over how the water supply was handled last week at a warehouse fire in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania (Bucks County). According to the TV station, there is bad blood between volunteer and career firefighters over funding that was taken from the volunteers' budget and used for salaries of the career firefighters. Here is what the TV station is reporting about the specifics of the investigation:

Vincent Troisi is chief of the Union Fire Company in Bensalem and he told Fox 29 on the phone Tuesday that he's under orders not to talk while an investigation is happening.

Troisi would not say what he's being investigated for.

But a source tells Fox 29 that Troisi is being investigated for refusing to supply water to a paid fire company that arrived first on the scene of a ware house fire.

The source says instead Troisi supplied the water to the volunteer fire company that was the second to get there.
