Boston Firefighters Local 718 President Ed Kelly announced at a press conference a unanimous vote of no confidence by the membership of Local 718 in Boston Fire Commissioner Roderick Fraser. Commissioner Fraser has failed to lead this department and is responsible for the inadequate fire apparatus that frequently breaks down and his constant lack of respect for the firefighters of this city.
