The chief of the Gilmer County Volunteer Fire Department is no longer on the West Virginia State Fire Commission after social media posts the governor called inappropriate and inflammatory.

Governor Jim Justice on Thursday issued a letter removing Martin Hess from the commission citing "various" posts by Hess.

“I will not tolerate behavior like this from anyone representing the State of West Virginia,” Gov. Justice said in the letter attached to this story.

Hess was appointed by the governor to the State Fire Commission in February 2018. At that point, he had served as the department's chief for five years.
