KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Former Kalamazoo Township Fire Chief David Obreiter is suing the township in federal court over his firing.
Obreiter says in his 46-page filing that the township deprived him of due process and presumed him guilty, calling the investigation a “sham.”
A female firefighter reported inappropriate treatment by a male firefighter in 2019 to his battalion chief, Matt Mulac, and Obreiter says the male firefighter was disciplined but not fired. She made a second report in May 2021 about Eastwood Fire Station management, which he says he addressed and then she contacted a township trustee in January 2022 without his knowledge.
Obreiter is seeking his job back along with back pay.
