Slatington Borough Council terminated its fire chief Monday night. Council members voted 6-1 to remove Keith Weaverfrom the volunteer position he has held for 13 years. Councilman Bryon Reed was the only member to go against the motion made by Councilman Jon Rinker to strip Weaver of his rank. “Termination for insubordination for Weaver taking the ladder truck out of town when he was not supposed to,” Rinker said about his motion. Rinker then made amotion for Deputy Chief Jason Nicholas to take over as acting chief of the 35-man volunteer department. “We may have to make adjustments, but until then he is acting chief,” Rinker said.
