Albuquerque Area Firefighters had an overwhelming vote of No Confidence in Public Safety Director Darren White today.  The vote was affirmed by IAFF Local 244 members at our general membership meeting.

“Like the rest of the public, our members are deeply concerned by the questions that have been raised concerning Darren White’s conduct this past week. However, just as important to the Albuquerque’s Fire and Rescue personnel is his overall record and the decisions he has imposed on the Fire Chief and the Albuquerque Fire Department.  Firefighters have affirmed a vote of No Confidence in his leadership. As public safety officials we are all held to a higher standard and are duty-bound to the same level of accountability.”   

-Diego Arencón, President, IAFF Local 244
