2-CHIEF KEITH MACY RESIGNS:

"The Reality of Being A Fire Chief ...And The Liability"

Keith Macy, Jonesville (NC) FD's Chief, handed a letter of resignation to town council member last. Chief Macy has served as Volunteer Fire Chief since 2001. Why did he resign? Well-he didn't fully resign as a member-but he sure did as the Chief. Macy steps down from the role of Chief but will serve as a Volunteer Firefighter.

Chief Macy said potential personal liability and lack of support for the fire department are 2 reasons for his resignation. The Chief became aware of potential personal liability after completing the Fire Chief 101 class required of North Carolina fire chiefs for FD's to be certified with a 9S rating. North Carolina FD's must meet requirements to be certified with this rating for insurance grading purposes.

Liability as Fire Chiefs are a very real issue-one worth learning about to fully understand your state and local laws, responsibility, liability, requirements and protections.
