Quispamsis Council is withdrawing arbitration against Rothesay now that the town has agreed to hire another firefighter.

Rothesay was originally against the idea saying the fire department's budget needed to be cut by 100 thousand dollars, but changed their minds based on a recommendation from the new chief.

Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll says, now that the issue has been resolved, arbitration is no longer needed.

He says a new firefighter will be hired before the end of the year.
