Story by wftv.com

 

DELTONA, Fla. --

The city of Deltona won't let firefighters go pink. They want to wear pink t-shirts to support breast cancer survivors, but city officials say it violates their contracts. However, it may be more politics at play than just pink shirts.

Deltona firefighters are dealing with one hot issue that has nothing to do with fire.

"That affects a lot of people, and when they hear about it they find it ridiculous," Deltona Professional Firefighters' President Kurt Vroman said.
