London mayor terminates fire chief, assistant fire chief, reports say

London Mayor Tracie Handley has terminated the city’s fire chief, Donnie Hale, and assistant fire chief, Brandon Wagers, effective immediately. Reports indicate the dismissals stem from concerns regarding department leadership, training compliance, and an incident involving an unauthorized fire alarm activation at the City of London Community Center. The mayor’s letter cited unprofessional conduct and failure to maintain public safety standards, according to WKYT.
