A lesbian San Francisco Fire Department assistant chief who alleged discrimination against the department in a claim two months ago is now taking the city to court.
As the Bay Area Reporter previously reported, Assistant Chief Nicol Juratovac filed a claim of whistleblower retaliation and discrimination against the San Francisco Fire Department and the city s Department of Human Resources on March 5.
The claim was denied by the city April 8 and Juratovac filed her civil lawsuit May 24.
Juratovac claims she wanted to change the culture at the SFFD. Instead, she was retaliated against after exposing cheating on promotion exams, safety violations, and racism in the department, according to the complaint as well as for blowing the whistle on what her attorney, Mark P. Fickes, of Cannata O Toole Fickes and Olson, described as a drunken party at a fire station in Noe Valley in 2017.
