Neighbors in Onalaska unleashed their frustrations on fire commissioners Tuesday night. They're upset after a third of the all-volunteer fire department resigned. Some say small town politics is putting public safety in jeopardy. Commissioners voted last week to strip Fire Chief Andrew Martin of his title. Commissioner Rich Bainbridge said Martin "was not following our direction." However, at an evening meeting, Assistant Chief Rhonda Volk said the action taken against Martin was retaliation. "I refuse to sit back and let commissioners Bainbridge and Kassel hold personal grudges and vendettas against my command team," said Volk.
