I think this is worth posting, however I admit that it is hard to decipher exactly which fire department they are talking about.
Updated: Thanks for some info via twitter. The area they are speaking of is Pointe Coupee Parish Fire District 1. The fire department is the Innis Volunteer Fire Dept.
Feel free to let me know if you have more to this story.

Tempers also ran high as the jury heard about the fire board, which is embroiled in internal struggles that have immobilized it. The situation is so dire, the fire chief has been banned from the property. Fire board members themselves worry, the “out of control” environment that is plaguing the department, might lead to physical altercations.
