From KSN:
Newton County, MO - Several volunteer firefighters, including the chief, make the decision to leave their station for good.
According to Lieutenant Kyle Hinz, six volunteers, including their fire chief, Steffen Wiest, gave up their positions with the Seneca Area Fire Protection District earlier this week.
Wiest says he often didn't have the full support of the fire district's board of directors, leading to his decision to quit.
The five other volunteer firefighter's who also quit had a similar complaint. Seneca District is now left with twelve volunteers.
To help the district out while they're lacking in staff, the Seneca City Fire Department is offering mutual aide if a fire breaks out within the district.
Tonight, the district's board of directors will meet to discuss reorganization.
Lieutenant Hinz says his department will continue taking care of their district and respond to calls as quickly as possible.
