HIGH SPRNGS, Fla. — High Springs Fire Chief Terry Jewell has been put on administrative leave with pay by City Manager Jim Drumm while the city holds an investigation into a training burn that was conducted by the fire department in January.
The State Fire Marshal Bureau of Fire Standards and Training sent a letter to Jewell, stating the fire department violated four Florida Statutes and eight points in the Florida Administrative Code during the training burn.
The alleged violations are related to safety issues leading up to and during the burn and lack of proper training. One accusation is specifically directed at Jewell, accusing him of failing to maintain documentation.
