Former city Fire Chief David W. Hollinger resigned because of what he called a hostile work environment and a pattern of “intimidation, stalking behavior, harassment and threats” from the firefighters union and his own first deputies, according to his resignation letter.
“I now regard this position untenable and must consider the health and safety of my family and resign my position,” Hollinger said in the letter delivered Monday to Mayor Vaughn D. Spencer. A copy was obtained by the Reading Eagle.
Reached Thursday afternoon, Hollinger said he has hired an attorney.
“A fire chief, like a police chief, takes a hit, but it should never spill over to one’s family,” Hollinger said.
