SEA ISLE CITY – The city has completed its internal review of the certification of Sea Isle City Volunteer Fire Department Chief Frank P. Edwardi and concluded that Edwardi holds the certificates necessary to be fire chief for the city.
According to a release, in June 2019, the State of New Jersey erroneously concluded that Edwardi did not have the required certificates and issued a letter of removal. The city makes no statement as to how the state lost Edwardi’s certificates and came to that mistaken conclusion.
Edwardi, working with Sea Isle City’s Volunteer Fire Company and Police Department, is in the process of re-submitting his certifications to the state to clear his name.
For health reasons, Edwardi has not actively led the Sea Isle City Volunteer Fire Department in over a year.
Edwardi has been a member of Sea Isle City’s Volunteer Fire Department for nearly five decades and has been fire chief for nearly eight years.
Edwardi receives a small stipend, consistent with that which is offered to all Sea Isle City volunteer firefighters.
Sea Isle City Volunteer Fire Company bylaws require that elections to choose officers to be held each November.
With that in mind, this autumn the city anticipates the election of a new chief to lead the fire department into the future.
The city thanked Edwardi for his many years of service and wished him well in his retirement.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
