Fairfax Underground still in the news and forcing change at the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has ordered a consultant to review the working environment at the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, with an eye toward how female employees are treated.
“The Board of Supervisors directs the County Executive to retain an outside third-party consultant to assess the working environment within the Fire and Rescue Department, focusing on equal employment issues, workforce morale, mental health assistance, and communications issues,” Chairman Sharon Bulova said in a statement Tuesday during the Board of Supervisors’ meeting.
A preliminary investigation determined that there was no departmental knowledge of harassment related to Mittendorff prior to her disappearance and confirmed that
no county computer had been used to access or post on Fairfax Underground, which is an independent site not associated with Fairfax County government.
