FFs say they got hosed by the mayor. They have moved out.

In Mount Vernon, KY, 11 firefighters say the town isn’t big enough for them and the mayor. The volunteers have un-volunteered and have moved their stuff out of the firehouse. This leaves about 7 members to handle the calls.

The problem, according to WLEX-TV, is a long-standing dispute over funding and other issues. The reason for the sudden action involves Mayor Clarice Kirby (above) driving over a fire hose at the scene of a house fire after being told not to.
