How well is the Paoli Fire Department handling the controversy surrounding a volunteer who gave TV viewers the finger on the Fourth of July?
"The bird seen 'round the world" is generating a fierce online debate among firefighters and Paoli residents alike. Your neighbors have been weighing in on the controversy surrounding a volunteer Paoli Firefighter who flipped the TV camera the bird during the Philadelphia 4th of July celebrations on WPVI-TV/6ABC (and later on CNN). At one point on Thursday, July 5 the fire company's website featured an apology denying the volunteer firefighter had actually made the obscene gesture. (Click here for the story and text of the apology.) By Friday afternoon it became clear that the gesture was no accident and was made intentionally when the Paoli Fire Company President and Chief posted a joint statement on the Paoli Fire Company website.

The Paoli Fire Company is grappling with a PR firestorm after a volunteer firefighter made an obscene gesture during a live TV broadcast on the Fourth of July. When and Where it Happened The volunteer firefighter, riding in a rear-facing seat in the back of a Paoli Fire engine cab, flipped the TV camera - and the world- the bird in a live broadcast originally aired on Philadelphia's WPVI-TV/6ABC and then rebroadcast around the globe on CNN. The video now also lives in infamy and (most likely) perpetuity on the internet. The gesture and the way the fire company first responded touched off a flurry of bad publicity and angry comments on websites across the internet.
