Top Fire Law Stories for 2014

Follow @curtvarone
It’s time to review the top fire law stories for 2014, and this year we are going to take a second look at some of our top headlines in a couple of different ways.
Today, we are going to look at the stories that folks on Facebook thought were the most important, or at least most interesting, based upon the number of “people reached”. It’s a statistic that Facebook provides to indicate just how many different folks saw a posting. It is not a measure of how many people clicked through to read the entire story, nor how many people liked or shared a particular story – although both liking and sharing stories does tend to increase the “reach” numbers.
So without further ado here are the top 20 stories in rank order, for 2014 according to Facebook!!
  1. Ohio LODD Suit Ends in Victory for Morning Pride and Motorola
  2. Alaska Supreme Court Reverses North Pole Fire Case
  3. Kentucky Firefighter Sues Over Racist Facebook Posting
  4. San Francisco Firefighter Claims She’s a Scapegoat
  5. Colorado Court Rules on Cancer Presumption for Denver Firefighter
  6. Use of Fire Department Email for Union Communications
  7. Wisconsin Firefighters Face Discipline Over Cellphone Recording
  8. Part-Time Firefighters Allowed to Organize in Pennsylvania
  9. Kayaker Sues FDNY for Injuries
  10. Georgia Firefighter Claims Incentive Stipend Belongs in Overtime Rate
  11. Ohio Chief Accuses Fire Board of Conspiracy and Racketeering
  12. Texas Judge Dismisses City’s Unfair Campaigning Suit Against Union
