DAYTON, Tenn. — Mayor Bob Vincent said today that a second candidate will be offered the fire chief’s post after the city’s first choice declined an offer.
“I expect in the next two days we’ll have that spot filled,” Mr. Vincent told members of the Dayton Kiwanis Club.
He said Tony Reavley, chief of field services for Hamilton County Emergency Services, was offered the position but declined it.
Chief Reavley confirmed this afternoon that he had turned down the job, but he wouldn’t say why.
“I'll tell you that I've decided to stay with Hamilton County,” Chief Reavley said.
