A fire chief who showed a pornographic video during a firefighting training course in eastern Newfoundland has been replaced.
The Bay de Grave Regional Fire Services Board issued a statement Monday saying James Edmunds has been named the new chief of the Bay de Grave Fire Department, replacing Jeremy Hall.

The statement also says the board has adopted a respectful workplace policy to provide training for “all members.”
Hall has admitted he played a short but explicit pornographic clip at the end of a regional training session two years ago in nearby Spaniard’s Bay.
It was one of a number of examples cited by Spaniard’s Bay firefighter Brenda Seymour, who complained that as a female firefighter she was the target of discrimination and sexual harassment.
Betty Moore, who led an emergency weekend meeting to deal with the issue, declined to comment.
