North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- North Las Vegas Fire Chief Al Gillespie is no longer employed with the city.

Gillespie was on paid administrative leave for the last three weeks after a training incident earlier in the year.

Gillespie is now no longer employed with the city. It's unclear whether he left or was forced out. City Manager Tim Hacker says the details of his departure are "a personnel matter and therefore confidential."

Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan will continue to fill the roll as acting fire chief.
