The Florissant community is abuzz after word got out that Mike Bailey, chief of Florissant Fire Protection District, was placed on suspension this month, and an interim chief, Erik Holt, was put in place.
The Florissant Community Page on Facebook was active with comments supporting Bailey and concerns about ongoing fire protection. A letter in support of Bailey was sent out by FFPD volunteer firefighters that voted no confidence in Holt and FFPD board member Dennis Porter.
According to Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Bailey's suspension may not have been legal, since Porter acted alone in representing the board in that decision.
