According to Trussville Mayor Buddy Choat, former Trussville fire marshal Steve Reasonover is once again working for Trussville Fire Department. Reasonover was placed on administrative leave in September 2016, along with former fire chief Russell Ledbetter. The two were placed on leave while an investigation into the city’s volunteer fire department could be completed. At this time, Choat said the Alabama Ethics Commission has begun its investigation, but was unsure of the status.
