PA Fire Commissioner resigns his post
Pennsylvania Fire Commissioner Tim Solobay has abruptly resigned his position in Gov. Tom Wolf's administration.
Solobay's resignation, which comes as PennLive has been attempting to reach Solobay about a sexual harassment allegation during his prior service as a state senator, was apparently tendered this weekend and is effective immediately.
Wolf's press secretary, J.J. Abbott, issued a statement confirming Solobay's resignation. He did not comment on the reason, stating only that "I cannot comment further on specific details of a personnel matter."
Solobay, a Democrat from Washington County, had been fire commissioner, a post which oversees the operation, state funding and training of fire services across the state, since the start of the Wolf's term in 2015.
He had previously served in both the state House and state Senate.
