City Restores Demoted Firefighter's Rank

PPH:
Westbrook officials have restored the rank of Lt.
Donald Trafford of the city's Fire and Rescue Department. Trafford, who was
demoted from lieutenant to firefighter in December, will receive back pay for
the difference in rank, said Dan Walsh, a business agent for Teamsters Local
340, which represents firefighters and rescue workers. Trafford was demoted by
city officials after an investigator looked into allegations by a female
firefighter that Trafford had made her feel uncomfortable during a
conversation.
