3 SIC Fire Officials Deemed Unqualified, Resign

By Other News Source

SEA ISLE CITY – Three Sea Isle City fire officials have resigned following a state Department of Community Affairs (DCA) investigation, which found they were unqualified to hold their positions, NJ.com reports
Fire Chief Frank Edwardi Sr., and assistant chiefs Mike Ryan and Mike Tighe, were scrutinized because of an anonymous complaint and a number of large fires in the city in recent months, DCA spokeswoman Tammori Petty told NJ.com. 
According to the DCA’s Fire Safety Division findings, the three men lacked the proper certifications for incident command. 
Edwardi, Ryan, and Tighe were replaced by certified individuals. They may continue to respond to calls and operate fire equipment as long as they are qualified to do so, Petty continued. 
Mayor Leonard Desiderio and Police Chief Thomas McQuillen, who oversees the fire department, did not immediately respond to NJ.com’s requests for comment.
