The Camp Hill Town Council voted to remove Fire Chief David Berry Monday at the recommendation of the mayor, one month after suspending his pay.
Camp Hill mayor Messiah Williams-Cole recommended the motion to terminate Berry due to his refusal to furnish documentation of the fire department's inventory, vehicle titles and donations received. Councilmember Juanita Woody cast the sole opposition vote.
