Is this being reported anywhere other than Facebook?

dude can't drive 400 miles to protect his brother. sad.

A Sandoval fire firefighter with Down syndrome, who quit after colleagues allegedly bullied him, has rejoined the department.

Eagan’s sister Kristine Sian, however, said Eagan won’t report back to the department until the the family is satisfied that the bullying is overwith for good. She said Monday that one of the four firefighters involved had officially resigned while another expected to in the coming days.

Eagan became a volunteer firefighter with the department in 2016 after years of trying. The 33-year-old said becoming a firefighter meant the world to him.

There was disagreement when Eagan first showed up at the fire department over whether he could be a firefighter, but he passed the physical and completed the necessary paperwork. The department couldn’t refuse him.

Looks like he is back on the dept, which is volunteer BTW (meaning that if the FF's get anything, its $5 per call and maybe a small phone stipend)

Though Jason doesn’t go into burning buildings or engage in perilous rescues, he’s otherwise a full-fledged member of the department.

He trains with the other firefighters. He helps with chores at the station. He helps at fundraisers and with charity events, such as Toys for Tots.

At a fire, he might help roll up hoses afterward, or go get the exhaust fan off the truck. He helps get the trucks ready for service again after a call.

Aside from doing the main things that make a firefighter a firefighter, such as fighting fires...

I was a nice gesture to make him a part of their department, but calling him a firefighter is a stretch. He's more of an assistant at the most or, at the least, a mascot.

His sister sounds pretty lazy.

Life goes on.....

Not if Virginia gets their way. "Del. Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax), pitching a bill to loosen restrictions on late-term abortions, said the measure would allow a woman to terminate a pregnancy until the moment she gives birth. "

Want to roll the dice and see if you get a Down Syndrome baby or not. If the radical Dems get their way you can just abort it AFTER you give birth! Who supports this kind of evil?

That was my attempt at a politically incorrect joke.

volunteer fire departments in rural areas have a lot of great guys but also are comprised of like community college yokles whose IQ's run south of 85. So can totally see this happening.

we lived across from our communities station for 4 years.

You ever see the show? That was my attempt at a politically incorrect joke. CORKY

reading OP i thought it was RPB family member

I'd like to see a pic of these jerkoffs who gotta break this guys balls, like his life isn't tough enough already.

Special corner in Hell for people who get a rush making sport of a guy like Eagan.

Without question.

I think you just condemned Tad Queasy to hell.

I don’t think I have that power.

I also don’t think he was making fun of the guy.

He called him a "mascot" for providing assistance to firefighters.

Edit: Nevermind, it's a chick. She doesn't have a boyfriend though?
