Mayor Monty Lenington said Lee's resignation was effective Tuesday. Lee, who has been on the fire department for 23 years, has been chief since 2006. He said that Lee was presented with a bronze fireman trophy for his service to the town.
Lenington did not know the reason for Lee's resignation. He said the assistant fire chief will fill the chief's position until the fire department names a new chief. The nomination will then be considered by the council. The chief position is not full-time. The chief receives $150 per month.
