A Pennsylvania fire company was shuttered by town officials Wednesday after officials at the company refused to address that one of their volunteer firefighters was a member of the extremist group the Proud Boys.
The township immediately launched an investigation into the allegations, which included an interview with the volunteer, who admitted he was involved with the Proud Boys, Burman said. The volunteer revealed he had attended social gatherings hosted by the group and had passed two of four of the group's initiation steps"which includes hazing."
Fake
and CNN refuses to acknowledge antifa
Wow do now they don’t have a fire department? Sounds smart to me.
Mccarthyism
Courage. Integrity. The NOAA could learn from this.
The left is INSANE and the media making the Proud Boys out to be some sort of radical group is dangerous and is leading to people getting hurt. It's very irresponsible. Meanwhile they prop up antifa who are legitimately causing problems.
good !
So...I guess I missed the loop again. Proud Boys
Finally put a penalty on the racism. He should also be named since he is so Proud.
DEAR BON AIR FIRE NO. 4: WE ARE NOT NAZI GERMANY YET AND WE TRUE AMERICAN'S, ARE PROUD OF U. I HOPE THAT THE TOWN BURNS TO THE GROUND WITH THOSE 'P-BOY-BROWN SHIRT NAZI'S' IN IT. SORRY, BUT I FIGURE THEY'LL BURN IN HELL ANYWAY!...😡🤬
A town’s brainwashed citizens shut down their only fire fighting source because the media told them a lie.
Sad to see public servants in these Anti-USA organizations. Hate has no place in public service. I hope they are replaced soon.
Actions have consequences. Responsibility for one’s actions. A concept most conservatives have disavowed.
fuckproudboys
Welcome to the Stupid Ages.
Better people die I guess?
More woke Heroes! Until their house catches on fire that is....
So the town puts the public at risk because of a political difference?
womp womp
I tip my hat to you Haverford Township! GOOD WORK!
This is so wrong.
fascists in our military, police departments, and fire departments. time to clean house.
Nothing wrong with Proud Boys- they've been vilified and lied about by the left because they stand up to and beat Antifa a** when attacked. Like the mob that attacked their bus in Portland. This is absurd.
The only Fire company story that matters is Franklin Square NY asking for new investigation into the obvious controlled demolition of the towers on 9/11/01.
This is HOW we will recover from Trumpism. This town did the RIGHT thing for The People and said We will NOT tolerate HATE Bravo! 👏👏👏 Now...... dismiss the volunteer and get back to business, after showing you mean business! NoHate NoRacism
THEY MUST BE ASHAMED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE
Aaaaand proud boy numbers just went up in that area. Good, more Americans to punch communist dorks I guess 😇
What does the proud boys do exactly?
and the town promptly burned to the ground.
I'm sorry but what exactly is wrong with a group of men... Being a group of men? Just because you all label them fascist doesn't mean they are, have they done something racist I don't know of? Like isn't this an equivalent to any men only club?
Bravo. Restores hope that not everyone is afraid to do the right thing.
How do you feel about this?
The Fire Board/association said the fireman had always been a good community member, caring for everyone. His joining the 'proud boys' says otherwise whether he was a full-fledged member/asshat or just a partial asshat.
a VOLUNTEER'S 'affiliation' w the 'Proud Boys'? Please forgive whoever runs that town for being mentally handicapped. They don't know any better. There's no other rational explanation
Sick 🔥, town.
Heh, Proud Boy fans who didn't read the article are helpfully outing themselves as illiterate racists every time this story reappears.
Maybe they can virtue signal the next fire out of existence.
Harass people who help others for a living because a volunteer is associated with somebody you don't like, that's great, very brave.
I hope they have another fire company...
how is that not bullying? 🤔
The fire company did address it and found his affiliation with the group was limited and that he had never displayed bias or discriminating behavior while serving. I’d say the town went a step too far.
SPLC hates Christian's.
Good.
No big shock.
Shouldn't this be the norm?
Great to see a community take action and not allow PROUD BOYS members in our fire department. goodjob
'Town leaves itself vulnerable to loss of life or property because ONE fire house VOLUNTEER belonged to the wrong social club.'
Good! The SPLC said that the proud boys are just another branch of the Aryan brotherhood just like Qanon.
Eventually leftist heads will explode , they are already on tilt.
OPEN A NEW ONE AND SCREEN THE HELP
So the group think mentality should apply to Sanders communist affiliation also? At least this guy has disassociated himself from the group.
GOOD
The Proud Boys sounds more like a gay boy band then a white Supremists group.
peace out binches
'aciremA': New name of the United States, after 'Referendum Stupid' in 2040, because far-right extremists started using the name AMERICA. Where are we going...
This sounds like a made up story, does anybody know if there’s any truth to it?
Well lets hope they don't need that fire company anymore. Bloody idiots.
Oh wonderful, fires don't respond when a Proud Boys-affiliated firefighter arrives to the rescue. STUPID PEOPLE.
Fun... now scour through the Police Department ranks.
And then there was a 🔥
Would they do the same in case of Antifa affiliation?
Thank you for fighting racism. Proud boys are afraid of losing privilege. If we are all equal privilege wouldn't matter.
Excellent
Finally the people take control of the situation. People need to understand that we pay the salaries for our fire fighters and police. If they are doing a terrible job at serving us or acting disgracefully then fire them.
Guess you are not free on your own time... Even as a volunteer serving the people of this town...
Quiara Good for them!!!
Damn white supremacists.
She’s a Witch!!!!
I don't believe how insane people have become, absolutely nutty
They were all proud boys
It's not like he was affiliated with antifa
This will make 100x more males wish to join. Good job liberals
Great job media. Your gaslighting has finally had results. It'll probably cost a few lives but all for the cause.
Soooooooo woke
Have fun roasting.
Imagine having to tell a family that the reason their house burnt down was because the town didn’t like what one of the firefighters does in his spare time.
He said he left the group, but it just proves that ppl can’t change their minds and be rehabilitated!! Whether they are mysoginists, thieves, murderers, white supremacists, black panthers, drunks, addicts, gang members, they can never redeem themselves. castthefirststone
Next they will blame Trump when the buildings burn down because they have no one to put it out.
Peak insanity
SPLC says? You take the word of those reported racists? Meanwhile, Proud Boys is led by a Hispanic man and their members are from every race.
what's that?
OMG This is crazy 😜
Arsonists in Haverford rn
TDS LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder Trump2020
This cant be real.
Good! I’m very proud of that town!
That is an absolutely fantastic way to think of town safety first. I certainly hope the town citizens arrive in droves at city hall to show their distain for the idiots that made this decision...
Just the other day my car broke down and some a**hole with a nra sticker offered help. I said f**k u racist conservative black guy. Then i get home and my house was burning down. Same guy shows up in his white supremacist ff uniform and I said no way joso, get outta here.
Cut your nose off to spite your face ... brilliant!
Thank you for a journalistic story. I have one problem with it though you’re using the Southern poverty Law Centers designation of Proud Boys as a hate group but they don’t get to designate that. Hopefully you will file a retraction so that you don’t confuse young ignorant minds.
This is what passes for important news at NBC, aka Nothing But Crap.
That's pretty stupid to close a fire station. Good luck when your sh*t's on fire .
proper functionality of democracy....
Meaning they refused to back down to the leftist mob. Good.
Can’t fix stupid 😂
FollowTerrenceKWilliams
Welcome to clownworld
😂 you’ve all lost your damn minds!
If a firefighter comes to my home to fight a fire I would never think about the politics the firefighter adheres to. But, I am a reasonable person and not a liberal.
Irony overload 😂😂 😂
Near Philadelphia....call the dancing Philly mayor when a house burns down, he’s great, he’ll help your town 🤣😂
File under 'Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'.
The sweet aroma of fascism must be strong in this town.
This makes NBCFAKENEWS so proud.
No good deed goes unpunished
So basically a few leftists go on a power trip and tank an entire firehouse of almost 40 men bc they can’t cancel one guy w/ a loose connection to PB. Clowns.
Well then let then
Pretty sure NBC is proud of this most stupid move..
That's awful. We have to stop this cancel culture bullshit.
“Oh, you have a firefighter who is part of a group that fights communists. Well, I guess the town can’t have fire protection then.”
Wtf is wrong w these ppl
Yes, let's shut down a fire station because one guy was thinking of joining this group, but didn't, and was there for 6 years. Seems like their not following their own township. What a crock of shit
are they gonna enjoy the next fire after this stupidity?
Well Antifa guys don’t need to worry, they don’t work let alone volunteer for anything
What happens if a heart doctor is a Trump supporter and I've had a heart attack, should I deny his services? LiberalLogic
Guess nobody’s getting paid or service, heavy sarcasm!
Let's hope and pray that Colleges and Universities with professors affiliated with Antifa do the same. KLANTIFA AntifaTerrorists AntifaDomesticTerrorists
Do they just hate men?
Idiots.
I can't wait for 2014 UR116 smacks this planet in 2020. Humanity needs a reset button pressed. You liberals are too god damn sensitive these days.
👏👏👏

Well once you associate how can that volunteer be trusted to perform their duty. Sound like the fire department is bunch of racists Poor leadership
I'm still trying to figure out how accepting the theory of white genocide goes together with unconditionally saving all life and property.
The proud boys should be shunned from society. If you defend them, you are one of them and should be treated accordingly.
It’s cute that they named themselves the “Proud Boys” in an attempt to replace the pride they never earned from their parents....
Bye felicia...
Seems reasonable and not crazy at all.
Good decision...
Terrorists run this Country
Being a shitty human comes with a price
Exposed

Jax6655 Losing your job to own the libs
' A week later, Burman said he received an email that said the fire company's board had 'found no basis for terminating the volunteer’s membership.' Looks like it was addressed.
Bravo! 👏
lmao, good idea, close the fire department.
Good
🙄🙄🙄
Adios bigot supporters.
Now do Antifa.
That's scary to think that an association with a group outside of work can cause politicians to close a fire station. How is this different than Mccarthyism?
EliotETC bro any chance you could add this weekly weird news
That’s just stupid
Good. There is a reason why they “failed to address” the volunteer’s ties to proud boys. He may have not been the only one.
Another HUGE loss for FatNixonNation!
So the proud boys are an extremist group now? Bet if the same fire station had someone in Antifa they wouldn't care. So now a town is down a fire station because people are but hurt. Amazing!
That...doesn't seem like the best solution to this.
We have become so correct we’re endangering ourselves. This is stupidity in action.
Did it interfere with his job?
Good!
