Politician upset over grocery store run by firefighters
The latest complaint about grocery runs by firefighters is not from a “concerned” citizen as we saw in Butte County, California. This one is from County Commissioner Brenda Carey in Seminole County, Florida.

Commissioner Brenda Carey texted a complaint to firefighters for going to a Winn-Dixie less than a mile from their fire station on Lake Mary Boulevard while they were on the clock.
“I just feel it’s very petty,” the (anonymous) firefighter told Barber.
He said he was outraged when he found out Carey followed the crew on a grocery run from Station 36 to the store.
“It’s just kind of disheartening, you know?” he said. “We take a lot of pride in the Seminole County Fire Department, and I think we do a really good job.”
“I see the FF’s are still making grocery runs with our expensive-to-operate vehicles. I thought the policy had been changed to only allow them to stop when returning from a call. I followed this one from the station to the turn in for the grocery store. Disappointed,” Carey wrote in her complaint.
