Firefighters quickly put out a fire at a two-family home on Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road Tuesday.
Acting Tisbury fire chief Patrick Rolston can now call the job his own, after the select board voted Friday afternoon to make the arrangement permanent.
Firefighters were called 741 Main street at about 8:45 p.m. and the family that was inside the home was out safe by the time the police department responded.
Tisbury’s termination of its fire chief came after accusations that the chief was in a romantic relationship with a subordinate, leading to allegations of favoritism and an uncomfortable work environment, according to a recently released report.
Greg Leland has been on paid administrative leave since July. The chief, who was promoted to the top position in 2020, was being investigated by the town’s legal counsel for reasons that have not been made public.
