State Forester says he was “falsely” accused as basis for his firing by Governor

 

A week after being fired as Oklahoma state forester following disastrous and deadly wildfires that consumed hundreds of homes and darkened tens of thousands of acres of land, Mark Goeller is responding.

“I have been falsely accused of not performing the duties necessary to protect life and property in a timely manner,” he declared in a posting on social media.

“The Agency to which I dedicated over 40 years of my life was said to have performed poorly. Preparations were made well in advance, the public was notified of the impending fire danger, firefighting resources were ordered and in place.”
