California wildfire: Camp Fire cleanup workers fired after posting insensitive pictures mocking burned down town of Paradise
At least three members of a Bay Area crane company's cleanup crew were fired after they posted "insensitive" pictures on social media of the aftermath of the deadliest fire in California's history. The company, Bigge Crane and Rigging Co., reportedly sacked its members, calling their actions "reprehensible."
The firm identified the worker who posted the insensitive picture as Rob Freestone. Freestone reportedly put a picture of himself and two other workers on social media, making fun of the tragedy at the site of the Camp Fire disaster, which claimed 86 lives, the SF Gate reported.
The construction firm posted an announcement on Saturday, saying that it has removed Freestone from its company: "Mr. Freestone has been removed from the Camp Fire recovery effort and we are working with International Union of Operating Engineers regarding his actions."
