UMATILLA, Fla. (AP) - The chief of a small central Florida
volunteer fire department will resign after he e-mailed pictures
that showed the exposed breast of a 26-year-old car crash victim.
Umatilla Fire Chief Richard Shirk told city officials he
e-mailed images of crash and the woman, who later died, for
training purposes. Shirk told officials he did not notice the woman
was partially nude in at least one of the photos.
City Manager Glenn Irby said Shirk initially sent the e-mail to
representatives of three nearby fire departments and it was
forwarded to others.
Officials said Shirk was being offered three-months pay in
exchange for his resignation.
