The board has officially reinstated Antonio to his position as Battalion Chief. This was a long and exhausting fight but he is finally heading back to the crew where he belongs.

We, the undersigned, are asking the Amador Fire Protection District Board of Directors (consisting of all five members of the Amador County Board of Supervisors) to reinstate Antonio Moreno to the position of Battalion 20 Chief. We believe that removing Antonio from this volunteer post is an incredible disservice to the public safety of our communities.
Antonio has been a dedicated public servant to the communities of Plymouth, Fiddletown, River Pines and Willow Creek for 37 years as a volunteer member of our local fire services. He has responded to hundreds of calls including wildland fires, structure fires, medical aids, vehicle accidents and more. Antonio’s experience and training as a paid firefighter in neighboring El Dorado County, combined with his understanding of our area’s geography and his relationships with local residents and business owners, make him a uniquely qualified individual when it comes to keeping our communities safe. Antonio has saved countless lives, and comforted many during the worst imaginable circumstances.
We believe that Antonio’s passionate support of the existing volunteer program is sincere and that his concerns about changes in the structure of that program should be considered. It is also our belief that although he may disagree with the direction that the department is moving, his difference of opinion does not warrant dismissal, let alone notification of that dismissal while responding to a call for medical assistance, with no explanation given.
The undersigned recognize that the business of fire protection is not easy and that the challenges facing our fire protection district can be complicated. We respectfully request that you reinstate Battalion Chief Antonio Moreno as we believe his input, experience and continued service are important to both finding solutions to AFPD’s challenges and the wellbeing of our communities.Updates

Seeing this level of support for Antonio is humbling and it helps me keep going when the path ahead looks difficult. The people in charge need to see that we are not going to let this injustice pass without a fight.

Antonio Moreno and the Plymouth Fire Department have came to my families rescue more then once in River Pines. In the winter months we have no Cal Fire and they are the closest source that we have. He has gone above the call to help our community and he should be reinstated.
Experienced volunteers like Antonio are crucial to ensuring rural communities have quick responses in emergencies. Antonio lives in our community, and volunteers in our community. Reinstate him - we need him!
I remember when my husband was badly injured how the volunteer fire department came and rescued him and transported him to an ambulance. Mr. Moreno was in charge and organized the search and rescue. It has been 15 years, but I am truly thankful the quick professional response.
Antonio is my brother. The dedication and compassion he has shown in his 37 years of service to our communities is immeasurable. Please correct this wrong and reinstate him to his position as Battalion Chief.
Antonio has helped make Fiddletown, Plymouth,, Shenandoah Valley, River Pines and the following areas safer for 37 years. He has seen more things than any of us would want to see and yet he volunteered all those hours to help his community! AFPD needs to reinstate Antonio as Battalion Chief immediately!
Please reinstate Antonio he made our area safer
I can't imagine anybody feeling as safe without Antonio being on the fire dept. .... this is so unfair not only to him but to the community as well !!! Let's fix this guys, #justice4Antonio

24 years ago, I had the reassuring experience of having Antonio Moreno respond to an emergency with our infant son. His professionalism and command of the situation enabled us to remain calm. He is a true hero. Reinstate Antonio Moreno
