Risking his life for eighteen years as a firefighter, Ronnie Edwards has prayed at every emergency scene. His actions have earned him the title of the “Praying Fireman” and those he works alongside admire and support his work ethic and his noble prayer habit. This habit of prayer has landed him in jail for 30 days.
The new mayor of DeQuincy, Lawana Jones is the “first democratic mayor in its history, an African American”, is an atheist, and has taken exception to Edwards prayer life. When she learned of Edwards praying at fires, she decided to do something about it. Sending a memo to all city employees, she told them that “any expression of personal religious belief while on duty was a violation of their contract with the city.”
Ronnie Edwards chose to keep up his prayer vigil as he believes that he must do what Jesus asks of him and not cave to the whims of an atheist mayor.

No way it’s freedom of speech
This is America. These Americans have a right to pray any time any where. Libaturds and Democraps so need to get over themselves. How dare you be so assinine.
Mayor you should be arrested and jailed for taking away a very basic freedom. You are a horrific disgrace. You have lost all respect. Remember, God will vindicate them.
OMG!!!
America is headed in the wrong direction.
Totally outrageous!!!
If a mosque burns .. Should the firemen wait 30 days..!!
If this is true , it’s time to start this war on Islam
Wow – and yet Muslims are allowed to pray anywhere at anytime. So tell me again who is persecuted in our country??! smh
Come on you guys. Check your facts before you go off. These firefighters pictured are from Iowa and this woman is not the mayor . I think people need to get hobbies instead of being caught up with this garbage.
