Which in my world is insanity.

What do you mean?

I can't answer a 911 call.

And so I literally have to shut the fire department down.

And what I didn't know at the time that I know now is he had already paid the bill an hour and a half prior.

So in that hour and a half time span, the tactics changed a little bit.

And so now they're shutting the fire department down and they shut the fire department down for four days.

And the news comes calling, all this stuff, right?

He makes a public statement where he admits fault that he froze the bank accounts.

The bank determined it was illegal.

Bills didn't get paid, right?

Now, meanwhile, these folks had hired a new attorney to which they had cut off the access from me.

And so...

as a fire chief, it's pretty normal for me to engage with and work through issues with the attorney to make sure we're doing things proper.

They had cut me off from that.

And so I'm kind of isolated on an island of trying to make the best decisions I can.

So I had like a short news thing where I'm like, I just don't know what's going on.

Yes, we had to shut down.

This is what I know.

And then I'm supposed to be on vacation for a week, spend time with my girls during summer.
