Police, fire chiefs split on support for EMA director
On Sept. 18, one week before every police chief in Butler County unanimously voted that they have no confidence in county Emergency Management Director William Turner (see previous post here), local fire chiefs had a meeting of their own.
At that meeting, the Butler County Fire Chief’s Association unanimously voted “to express our support of the Butler County EMA to the (county) commission.”
“The Butler County Fire Chief’s feel the Butler County EMA and its Director Bill Turner have been unjustly criticized for their response to the wind storm and blackout conditions that affected all of Butler County the week of 9/13/2008,” says a letter to commissioners from the fire chief’s association.
See that letter below, as well as numerous others from local and state officials lauding Turner’s performance after the windstorm and after other emergencies in recent years.

Sonething just isn’t right here, first the minutes of the meeting of the Police Chiefs make no mention of this vote and second the vote could not have been “Unanimous” as some of the chiefs were not present and others have stated they did not vote for this.
