Excerpts from the chicagotribune.com:

Oak Forest Fire Chief Jack Janozik will retire as of June 29. He was hired by the city on a part-time basis in 1986 and began his career as a full-time paramedic/firefighter in 1992.

Janozik was named fire chief in March of last year following the resignation of Chief David Griffin. Janozik was a deputy chief at the time, and Lt. Patrick Duffy was then promoted to deputy chief.

At next week’s city council meeting, Mayor Hank Kuspa is expected to ask the council to appoint Duffy as fire chief.
