VIDEO - Hightstown will not take any action against its fire chief in connection with a hip hop video shot at the borough's firehouse recently, the mayor said Tuesday.
Mayor Lawrence Quattrone said the matter was settled at a borough council meeting Monday night. The mayor declined to offer any other comment, saying it was a non issue.
The video shoot took place in the spring for a song called "IDK" by New Jersey performer Elite Motivated - now known as Dread Marley. Hightstown Fire Chief Scott Jenkins arranged for two of the volunteer fire company's trucks to be pulled to the front of the station and have their emergency lights activated for director Patrick Byas, who is from Hightstown.
Resident Douglas Mair, who ran for mayor in 2014, filed a complaint after seeing the video, questioning whether Jenkins should have allowed the shoot, and if permits and insurance were needed or other permissions.
And Mair also took issue with the video's content, saying the borough was not represented in a good light.
