The Southtown Star recently published an article about the new fire chief for Chicago Ridge, following the recent resignation of the previous chief: Oak Lawn Fire Chief George Sheets is set to take on a new role, but he won’t be leaving his current position anytime soon. After a unanimous vote by the village board on Tuesday night, Sheets will continue as Oak Lawn’s fire chief while also managing the Chicago Ridge Fire Department through 2016. The Chicago Ridge Village Board is expected to formally approve the arrangement at its meeting on July 15, according to Oak Lawn Village Manager Larry Deetjen. Deetjen explained that Chicago Ridge Mayor Chuck Tokar reached out to Oak Lawn with the idea of having Sheets serve both communities. However, Tokar was unavailable for comment on Tuesday night regarding Sheets’ potential new role. This development comes just weeks after Chicago Ridge Fire Chief Robert Muszynski stepped down, citing “personal differences†with village officials—particularly Tokar—over proposed changes to the fire department. Several Chicago Ridge trustees have indicated that Muszynski resigned at Tokar’s suggestion, though the village board ultimately accepted his resignation last month. Muszynski’s departure followed a period of tension in the department. Earlier this year, the village board encouraged Tokar to explore more efficient ways to provide firefighting and ambulance services. These discussions have left some firefighters concerned about job security, as options under consideration include hiring a private ambulance service or even disbanding the fire department and joining a fire protection district. Christ Schmelzer, president of the Chicago Ridge Professional Firefighters Local 3098, recently described the atmosphere in the firehouse as “very tense†following Muszynski’s exit and the uncertainty surrounding the department’s future. While Deetjen declined to comment on the specific plans for the fire department, he did acknowledge that there are opportunities to improve efficiency in running fire departments. He also expressed confidence in Sheets, saying he will soon meet with the 13 Chicago Ridge firefighters to better understand their needs and build relationships. thanks Dan Tcm Or Tcu Or Ecu,Transmission Control Unit,Electronic Control Unit,Electronic Control HONG KONG CRS INTERNATIONAL TRADING COMPANY LIMITED , https://www.crstrans.com
