Sherman Reed resigns from the Liberty Township Fire Department and Life Squad and asks trustees to appoint an investigator to probe Fire Chief Henry Taylor's leadership. Reed, backed by attorney Gerald Golub, accuses Taylor of using unqualified life squad members and disputed appointments, while trustees debate investigations and next steps. Bob Benton presses for probe into a Countryside Village incident and questions hose pressure and equipment placement amid donation concerns.
