Winfield Fire Protection District news

From the Winfield Fire Protection District Facebook page:

Engine 31 which is our only operational fire engine is going back to the factory for a major overhaul of the engine, pump, mechanical systems and rotting frame rails. Our only fire apparatus left is Tender 31, which was designed to haul water to areas with no hydrants. With repairs to Engine 31 expected to take 3-6 months and no reserve fire apparatus, the West Chicago Fire District loaned us their engine that has been retired from service because it is 27 years old. So when you see a West Chicago vehicle driving around Winfield this is the reason.

Winfield Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:

A fire broke out at around 2 a.m. at the apartment complex located on Coniston Court near Windermere Road in Winfield. Firefighters worked quickly as flames burst through the roof, some shooting 30 feet into the air. Multiple fire companies responded as the townhomes are very close to one another and there was concern that it could spread quickly.

No injuries were reported to firefighters or residents, eight of which were displaced. The cause of the fire remained under investigation, though officials said it did not appear to be suspicious.

Winfield Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:

A former Winfield Fire Protection District administrator is free on $10,000 bail while facing felony charges of forgery and official misconduct.

According to the indictments released Wednesday morning, former Winfield Deputy Fire Chief Bryan Lewis, 44, is charged with two felony counts of forgery and two felony counts of official misconduct. On Feb. 5, Lewis presented Chief Phillip DeMenza with a false Triton College diploma dated May 1995.

The official misconduct charges stem from the forgery allegations.  DeMenza said Lewis resigned from the district in March.

Fire district attorney Bernie Weiler declined to address specifically why Lewis would be presenting a 19-year-old diploma to the chief but said there are often promotional or participatory opportunities that arise within the district that call for documentation of one form or another.

Lewis, a nearly 17-year veteran of the department, was charged June 30, but prosecutors requested the case be impounded and the indictment sealed until Lewis turned himself in on a $10,000 arrest warrant, which he did Tuesday.

If convicted, Lewis faces two to five years in prison. His next court date is scheduled for 9 a.m. Aug. 12 before Judge Brian Telander.
