In a continuing effort to enhance our services to municipalities, villages and fire districts, the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association is pleased to announce their “Responder” Interim Fire Chief Program.
Fire Chiefs typically serve at the discretion of elected or appointed officials from cities, villages and fire districts. A sudden departure of the fire chief can create an instant leadership void. Appointing an “acting chief” is not always the best solution for filling a fire chief vacancy because “acting chiefs” often lack the knowledge, skills and leadership qualities to transition their respective organization.
The “Responder” Interim Fire Chief Program is designed to fill the void created by the sudden departure of a fire chief. We can provide you an interim fire chief that has the education, skills, experience and seasoned leadership ability to keep your fire department functioning during a time of incredible need.
If you would like additional information on our “Responder” Interim Fire Chief Program, or if you are a fire chief that is interested in serving as an interim chief, please contact our Executive Director, Bob Buhs by e-mail: rmbuhs@comcast.net or cell phone (708) 935-9979.
