Adam Walker, the former secretary of the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, faces serious allegations of financial misconduct involving the organization’s charity, potentially misappropriating funds totaling over $75,000. The International Association of Fire Fighters has suspended him and is conducting an internal investigation. Walker contends that the deposits were reimbursements from an account not tied to the charity and asserts he has documentation for all expenses. He remains employed as a firefighter, but the situation raises significant concerns about financial oversight within firefighter unions.
A former top officer of the Los Angeles Fire Department's labor union, Adam Walker, has been suspended amid allegations of financial improprieties involving the union's charity.
Walker claims all financial deposits he made were reimbursements for legitimate expenses related to fundraising golf tournaments, not charity funds.
Despite the suspension, Walker maintains he provided receipts for legitimate out-of-pocket expenses, totaling over $17,000, asserting his accounting was simply poor, not dishonest.
The Internal Association of Fire Fighters has initiated an internal investigation into Walker’s activities, raising questions about the management of funds intended for injured firefighters.
