Risking his life for eighteen years as a firefighter, Ronnie Edwards has prayed at every emergency scene. His actions have earned him the title of the “Praying Fireman” and those he works alongside admire and support his work ethic and his noble prayer habit. This habit of prayer has landed him in jail for 30 days.
The new mayor of DeQuincy, Lawana Jones is the “first democratic mayor in its history, an African American”, is an atheist, and has taken exception to Edwards prayer life. When she learned of Edwards praying at fires, she decided to do something about it. Sending a memo to all city employees, she told them that “any expression of personal religious belief while on duty was a violation of their contract with the city.”
Ronnie Edwards chose to keep up his prayer vigil as he believes that he must do what Jesus asks of him and not cave to the whims of an atheist mayor.

Crazy!
Damn the system for not refusing to obey her order.
God bless you sir
This is all a bunch of b******t ! Mayor leave town now ! Your fired !
This is ridiculous !
Unconstitutional no no no
unconstitutional, sue them
Where are his freedom of religion rights? Oh, that’s correct, he’s not Muslim. If he were the fire station would have to give him a place to put his prayer rug out 5 times a day. But because he’s a Christian he cannot bow his head for prayer?
Just sickening and illegal according to the Constitution.
THIS PUNISHMENT IS AGAINST THE LAW…..WHO DOES THIS WOMAN THINK SHE IS? SHE WILL BE WONDERING WHY SHE DID THIS WHEN SHE STANDS BEFORE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY….WHICH SHE WILL DO!!
