OROVILLE — Five Oroville Dam workers were fired for posting spillway photographs to social media.

A spokesperson for the California Department of Water Resources told KRON that a number of employees working under the Folsom contracting company Syblon Reid violated the terms of their contract by posting the pictures.  

A Syblon Reid contractor had forbidden a spillway team from capturing any activities at the dam and sharing the footage via social media. The contracting company has enforced this “no social media/no photos” policy at all of their construction sites.

  1. Apparently, the dams all fixed up and everything fine and dandy so they don’t need these guys there anymore.
    That’ll teach them guys for getting in that helicopter and taking all those aerial photographs that were posted all over social media.
    Syblon Reid spokesperson: “We’re not covering up anything. We had to fire those guys for taking pictures but we’re definitely not covering up anything.”
