Burning Down The City

South Texas is under fire warning. In fact we are experiencing a drought. So what do the brilliant minds of Gregory do?
Fire the entire volunteer fire department!

During a meeting at the fire station Mayor Victor Lara, and Chief of Police Robert Garza told the volunteers there services where no longer needed. Fire Chief Mike Kohner said "The mayor canned all 21 of us."

Mayor Lara has given no reason for the dismissal.

Currently the city will count on neighboring fire departments of Portland and Ingleside.

No word if the surrounding cities will be reimbursed if they have to respond to a fire in Gregory.

I'm snowed in on a small mountain in New Jersey. 18 inches of snow and can't get to the airport. We could send some snow down there for fire fighting purposes.
