“Yesterday we were made aware of vile comments on an employee’s social media account regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The comments made by the employee do not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Hutto Fire Rescue.
The men and women of Hutto Fire Rescue are entrusted to serve and protect all members of the community with professionalism, integrity, and respect. Any actions or words that undermine that trust, or promote division or insensitivity are taken very seriously.
We immediately launched an administrative review of this situation, as outlined in our policies and procedures, and will correct it accordingly. Each member of Hutto Fire Rescue swore an oath to protect you, and we do not condone these comments, actions, or anything slightly similar. We remain committed to maintaining your trust and confidence in our service delivery to you.”
