Excerpts from the journal-topics.com:
Deputy Fire Chief Matt Matzl has been named Des Plaines’ new fire chief effective May 23 succeeding Dan Anderson who has served in that role for about the last four years.
Over the past few weeks, Matzl has assumed most of the day-to-day responsibilities of the department to ensure a seamless transition of duties. He will be formally sworn in during a city council meeting in June.
After 40 years in the fire service, Anderson will retire on May 22. He joined the Des Plaines Fire Department in January 2020, tasked with modernizing operations and emergency services. Under his leadership, the department underwent significant operational changes, including the utilization of a fourth ambulance and the introduction of Rescue 63 & Squad 63, multi-purpose vehicles used for both EMS and fire responses.
