Several claim the battle got ugly when allegedly some of the firefighters supported some other fire district commission candidates —- who ended up losing the election —-and the East Franklin Firefighters are now apparently paying the political price.

If East Franklin sounds familiar, it is where Firefighter Foreman Kevin Apuzzio was killed in the Line of Duty on April 11, 2006. He was killed during the attempted rescue of a confirmed woman trapped in a dwelling fire. Both Kevin and the woman he was in the process of rescuing, tragically perished.
