Something from north of the border … Green Bay, WI

This from Wayne Gauger – WGWI-PUBLICATIONS:

It was an exciting day for the Green Bay Metro Fire Department. The department received a new state-of-the-art fire boat. The fire department held a demonstration of the boat by placing a man into the Fox River as well as using a fire pump capable of discharging 2,000 gallons of water per minute. The boat will be used during rescue and firefighting operations. Fire chief David Litton says it will help the team when it comes to accidents on the water. I will tell you this potential always exists. Whether it’s a boat being stranded out in the bay, whether it’s somebody who capsizes their boat – an incident we had this summer – whether there’s a fire onboard or somebody overboard there’s much potential. The price tag of the boat was $315,000. $225,000.00 was donated by Green Bay Area Petroleum Companies and $90,000.00 will come from Green Bay taxpayers.

Illinois fire chief moves to Green Bay

An article in the Greenbaypressgazette.com introduces former Bolingbrook Fire Chief David Litton as the new fire chief for the Green Bay Fire Department.

A former fire chief in suburban Chicago is headed to Green Bay to take the helm of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department.

David Litton, who served most recently in Bolingbrook, Ill., was chosen from among four finalists to become fire chief after a nationwide search that attracted more than 30 applicants.

Litton, 50, said Friday he is excited to be joining the Green Bay fire department, which he said has a rich history and a talented roster of employees.

“I’m absolutely confident that they’re great people, and I’m looking forward to working with all of them,” he said.

Litton was fire chief in Bolingbrook for five years before the community’s elected leaders this spring named their police chief to oversee both police and fire — a consolidation that Green Bay officials briefly considered last year.

Before Bolingbrook, Litton was fire chief for 13 years in another Chicago suburb, University Park, Ill., where he also served for three years as both fire chief and village manager.

Litton’s salary will be $102,574 a year — the top of the city’s range for the position.
