The Bigfork Fire District Board of Trustees held a special meeting Thursday night for a disciplinary decision regarding Lieutenant Sean Reffner, who faced allegations of misconduct relating to the sexual harassment of female coworkers.  

Firefighters and community members filed into the Bigfork High School library. Chair Dan Elwell asked for a motion, and the room fell silent. Twenty seconds passed before Vice Chair Andrew Sliter spoke. 

“After reviewing the investigation notes and also reviewing and hearing Mr. Reffner’s statements, I make a motion to terminate employment at Bigfork Fire,” Sliter said.
