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.

Get rid of the mayor
Fireman just keep praying…mayb u can convert some to Christianity.
Just when you think you,ve heard it all! Ya,ll should be ashamed of yourselves!
If they were praying to Allah they would build them a room and put a rug in it . Put NO we can’t pray to God in Jesus name…a word to the ones that told him he can’t pray….u WILL answer to the true God on judgement day.
I call BS
It is one thing to violate the law, it is another to exert their will on someone and violate their rights!
It is written in the Bible that this time would come, and here it is….we are about to enter the end of the ages.
The I’ll show you attitude will get him no where.
If he were praying as a habit in any other religion would he have received jail time….all things being equal …
Outrageous
