JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A JFRD Captain resigned after being suspended for posting signs at the firehouse.

Alvin Floyd was suspended without pay late last month for posting signs that read "Welcome to the Plantation" at the firehouse. Floyd was supposed to be suspended for 20 days. He is black.

Authorities confirmed to Action News that Floyd resigned but they have not said why.

now if i remember correctly how the city and jfrd do their math,they lost one black captain so they will promote 3 black firemen to captain then hire 5 new firemen to take their place and of course the 3 new captains will need new cars.
