ByBen Becker, Action News JaxST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — Former St. Johns County Fire Chief Scott Bullard will not be returning to the department anytime soon after the county rejected hisAction News Jax Ben Becker sat down with Interim St. Johns County Administrator Joy Andrews and Firefighters Union President David Stevens after Becker first reported Saturday that the county denied Bullard’s grievance after he resigned on October 3 following just five months on the job.
“I also believe his approach on mental health and not taking care of our firefighters and calling mental health and overtime propaganda puts everybody at risk,” said Stevens. Bullard said he had told verbally to change the sick leave policy, the union had agreed to the uniform change, and that he followed standards related to hurricane preparedness.Bullard: “That is the million-dollar question. I wish I knew. This is my livelihood that’s been taken away from me, my future, my family’s future.”Bullard was hired in May by former County Administrator Hunter Conrad who resigned under pressure in June.
