LITTLE ROCK FIRE CHIEF ENCOURAGES AND CONDONES ILLEGAL PARKING OF DEPARTMENT VEHICLES FOR LUNCH

A Little Rock Fire Department vehicle was observed parked in a clearly marked 'no parking zone' this week on Towne Oaks Drive, next to the Rodney Parham U.S. Pizza location.

The vehicle's driver side tires had rubber chocks placed behind them and no other emergency vehicles were nearby.

LRFD PARKED ILLEGALLY FOR A LUNCH BREAK

LRFD - WE PARK WHERE WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT




So we sent a Freedom of Information request to LRFS Chief Gregory Summers to find out who or what needed to be rescued. The photos of the illegally parked truck were attached to our request.




We received this response from Chief Summers.




Based on his short and sweet response we deduced that the Search & Rescue guys were chowing down on some pizza and felt that they could park wherever the hell they wanted.  After all they are firemen and don't have to follow the laws, even at lunch.

So we replied back to Chief Summers and asked if they were eating lunch instead of responding to an emergency.  Chief replied that they were indeed having lunch as part of their "public relations" efforts.


Summers affirmation that his firemen were at lunch in his second email received this response from us.



We waited for a response for Chief Summers, but none was forthcoming.

It appears that Summers permits his employees to break the law. That is shameful and is actionable. 


LRFD CHIEF GREGORY SUMMERS

***UPDATE***

After we posted the story, we received another email from Chief Summers.


Smart move Chief Summers.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week  ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
