A non-binary Ottawa firefighter testified Thursday that their captain advised them against reporting an alleged assault by a crewmate because it would be blown out of proportion and could jeopardize the complainant's career.A non-binary Ottawa firefighter told court Thursday that their captain advised them against reporting an alleged assault by a crewmate because it would be blown out of proportion and could jeopardize the complainant's career.
Ottawa firefighter Ash Weaver, right, walks with Sgt. Ali Toghrol of the Ottawa Police Service's hate and bias crime unit near the Ottawa Courthouse on May 8, 2024. Weaver testified that when they fled to the truck bay following the alleged assault at the fire station's kitchen sink, they were in significant pain and fearing for their life."When I saw him I said I was hurt, I'm in pain, can I go to the hospital?" Weaver told the court.
Weaver said shortly after, Wright brought a family over to the truck for a tour. Unable to face the public, Weaver apologized and slipped out the opposite door to hide in the nearby ladder truck while Wright and Einagel gave tours of the pump truck. The alleged violence happened Sept. 14, 2022, at Station 47 on Greenbank Road near Cambrian Road in Barrhaven. Wright agreed to move Weaver from the pump crew to the ladder truck crew so they would no longer have to ride with Einagel, but Weaver never returned to Station 47 after that shift.
