The volunteers and town council are in agreement on key issues following a meeting that took place Tuesday night.
Firefighters said it has been very stressful since they walked off last Thursday. They said they didn't want to but had to send a message to administration.
Firefighters said there was a lack of leadership since their chief resigned in November and they were not consulted in the decision-making process.
Council agreed to give them a voice when charges are made in the future. A previous bylaw was reinstated that would give two deputy chiefs interim authority of the service until a new chief is hired.
There is no timeline for when council will hire a chief, but when they do, the firefighters will be consulted.
