The Boston firefighter who competed in a bodybuilding competition after going out on disability is now fighting to get his job back.
Albert Arroyo, 46, had his application for a disability pension denied earlier this month.
He was ordered back to work, but he never showed up and was fired.
Arroyo sent a letter to the department Wednesday appealing that decision.
