During his watch was he ever in a position to participate in or have knowledge of watering down the fire sprinkler code to where no sprinklers were placed in Miami buildings so that firemen would receive overtime, billed to the taxpayers, for walking the halls of these buildings with fire code violations where the citizens of Miami lost $17-million? Was he in charge of FEMA search and rescue during the harricane that flooded New Orleans. If not, welcome Chief Kemp.
