• Livingston fires fire chief (bozemandailychronicle.com) — Livingston’s fire chief has been officially terminated following months of tension with the city manager over a detailed presentation and alleged policy violations, leaving an interim chief in charge of Fire & Rescue. A judge has already dismissed the chief’s lawsuit seeking reinstatement, and city commissioners were set to revisit their earlier decision to require de-escalation training for the city manager at a Tuesday evening meeting.
