A: Since the only possible claim you might have would fall under the heading of Employment Law, and since you are a volunteer firefighter (i.e., not employed by the fire department) your legal rights are extremely limited. Moreover, since you were given the chance to resign--and took it--your chances of reversing this situation at this stage are not good.
