"They're happy. They're ready to go back to work. I've asked most of them to forget the past, and go on with the future, and the community feels the same way," states Brain Atherton, Captain of Diamond Fire Protection District. 

Atherton says if the fire chief does not return, the department will hold open meetings to nominate and elect a new one. They expect those meetings to take place in a few weeks, if necessary.
