Actually, it appears that he was fired in favor of illegals.

He was let go because he was a drain on city resources making a firefighter salary and benefits while not being able to actually perform the function. He isn't the first and won't be the last let go in this way. The city will only allow you to be strung along on light duty for so long before it's obvious that you can't perform the tasks for which you were hired.
Not everyone who works for the fire department fights fires. He'd had a desk job and he was doing his job.
What it sounds like is they have injured firefighters they put on "light duty." Light duty is not a permanent status. They give the firefighters a chance to get medically cleared so that they can go back on heavy duty firefighter status. If there is no possibility of that happening I believe what should happen next is disability retirement, not firing.

if they consider those in training as more than conditional employees. If he did nothing but go to school that might be a stretch. An injury sure, heart attack doubt it.
LOL, you've been demoted, "senior conspiracy debunker"....
AstraZeneca has admitted in court for the first time that its Covid jab can cause a deadly blood clotting side effect. The rare reaction is at the heart of a multi million-dollar class action by dozens of families who allege they, or their loved ones, were maimed or killed by the pharmaceutical titan's 'defective' vaccine.
Apparently, he had a heart attack in 2019 while he was still in the Fire Academy. And he was on desk duty before he was fired. If he served as an actual firemen, it wasn't for long.
Clearly, the city was trying to save money, but I'm not sure I blame them in this case.
And the part about "leaving his family with nothing despite his years of service?" What service? He was in the academy in 2019 and then on desk duty for who knows how long. Three years actual service? Someone should get full benefits after three years of service?
I'm not trying to sound callous, but after that heart attack in the academy, why was he hired? It is a very physical job.
He was a recruit that didn't make it out of the academy. Let's not confuse this person with a Firefighter that suffered a heartatack while fighting a dwelling fire or rescue or another life or death situation that Firefighters deal with every day.
