Fire Chief Under Fire Over Personal Boundaries

Fire Chief Greg Lang of Clermont County is facing serious scrutiny after wiping his work phone clean before an investigation began — all tied to an alleged inappropriate relationship with an employee under his command. The investigation, released June 8, details favoritism, including letting her skip training and hang out in his office, while others stayed silent out of fear. The relationship escalated when she let him stay at her place for his birthday amid marital troubles — and later, he was charged with domestic assault after a December incident at her home, though he was acquitted. His daughter also reportedly described him as having severe anger issues. Michael Welch is now acting chief as the fallout continues, revealing a workplace where policy was routinely ignored and personal boundaries collapsed.
