A nearly 25-year employee of the Superstition Fire and Medical District is appealing his termination from employment before two state agencies.
Brian White, who until earlier this year was a battalion chief, was fired as of March 13, according to a notice of final determination interoffice memorandum from then-Fire Chief Mike Farber, who retired in May.
The district provides fire suppression, fire prevention, wildland protection, advanced life support, rescue, extrication and medical transportation services out of five fire stations in Apache Junction and Gold Canyon. Under the SFMD governing board’s direction, the district has a budget of $23.7 million through four divisions: emergency services operations, which includes transport; planning and logistics; administrative services; and financial services.
