— A firefighter with the North Chatham Fire Department is out of a job after commenting on Facebook that migrants currently in U.S. custody should be "exterminated."

Caleb Folwell responded to a Facebook post regarding migrants being housed along the U.S.-Mexico border. He commented on the post saying all of the migrants currently in custody should be "exterminated."

He also wrote that the deaths should be broadcast on national TV in Mexico to send others a message "that if you cross illegally, you die."

Chatham County Fire Chief John Strowd told WRAL News that as of Monday Folwell is no longer with the department.

The chief would only said it was because of a "personnel matter."

The North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department is a combination department, staffed by 56 career staff and 23 volunteer firefighters, according to its website. The department serves the northeastern portion of Chatham County and a small portion of southern Orange County.
