Iola Fire Chief Chase Waggoner has resigned.
“It’s a good department with great guys,” Waggoner told the Register in a telephone interview. “It’s just sometimes a job is not a good fit for you.”
Waggoner’s brief tenure with the city included assorted dust-ups with city and county elected officials.
In April, Allen County commissioners grilled Waggoner about how the Harmony Health fire was handled, because Waggoner brought in Iola firefighters manning ambulance stations in Moran and Humboldt to help tackle the inferno, rather than calling in other personnel from surrounding departments.
