New deputy chief in Round Lake

Excerpts from MySuburbanLife.com:

Battalion Chief Joseph Krueger, who spent more than 23 years with the McHenry Township Fire Protection District, has accepted a job as deputy chief, for the Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District, McHenry Chief Tony Huemann said.

Krueger was one of the two battalion chiefs who sued the district over their pensions, arguing that the years they spent as full-time administrators should count toward their pensions. Huemann said he was unaware if the lawsuit played into Krueger leaving, and it wasn’t mentioned when he and Krueger talked about the move.

The case still is pending.
