OCALA, Fla. – The Ocala city council is trying to figure out how to move forward after the firing of Ocala’s fire chief nearly two weeks ago.
“We think about what our next steps are, and I don’t think anybody is sure what our next steps are,” Mayor Kent Guinn said.

While parts of Ocala were under a tropical storm warning Tuesday evening, community members packed city council chambers. Dozens of residents lined up for public comment. Some asked for the reinstatement of the fire chief, while others called for the firing of the city manager.
The 5 p.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center showed that the storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph after making landfall along Florida s Big Bend region and heading north to Georgia.
The county opened one shelter, at West Port High School, for west Marion residents who have special medical needs.
All in all, people seemed to agree that the storm could have been much worse. Thank you, Jesus, we ve been blessed, Dunnellon Vice Mayor Valerie Hanchar said Wednesday morning when talking about the relative lack of damage. The only reported trouble in her city was a broken oak tree limb that fell across and blocked Palatka Drive at Vogt Springs Road.
