New records in Cal Fire training death
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â The girlfriend of a local CAL FIRE firefighter who died after a routine training exercise says his death could have been prevented.
For six months, ABC10 News reviewed records that reveal that the state found the former captain who oversaw the training exercise to be incompetent and dishonest during the investigation.
That former captain has since been demoted, but it may only be temporary.
Documents obtained by ABC10 News show that he will be eligible to get his position back. CAL FIRE told ABC10 News that it conducted a thorough investigation into his actions, and it remains committed to the safety of its employees.
