The Daily Herald has an article today which states that former CFD Commissioner Robert Hoff has been hired by the Carol Stream Fire District as the Deputy Chief
Hoff was hired Monday as the deputy chief of the Carol Stream Fire Protection District, which has a 15-square-mile coverage area that includes all of Carol Stream and parts of Bloomingdale, Winfield and Glendale Heights.
After the Carol Stream fire board approved his hiring, Hoff said in an interview that he’s looking forward to his new role, which is less administrative than his previous job. There are more opportunities to work with younger firefighters and “pass on experiences” through training, he said.Hoff and his new boss, Carol Stream Fire Chief Rick Kolomay, taught classes at the Illinois Fire Service Institute and Chicago Fire Academy, and they co-authored a firefighting training manual in 2003.
