BEAUMONT, TX — Some Beaumont residents seem to have their own issues with the city’s firefighters’ union after multiple people took the public comment period at a recent City Council meeting to express concerns regarding a vote of no confidence in Fire Chief Earl White.
At the Beaumont City Council’s meeting on March 25, many residents spoke against the International Association of Firefighters Local 399 regarding overtime usage, staff living outside the city and the Feb. 4 vote of no confidence against White and Assistant Fire Chief Christian Singler.
