Huntley Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Albert W. Schlick III died Tuesday evening, a lieutenant with the district confirmed Wednesday.
Before serving in Huntley, Schlick was division chief for the Wauconda Fire District, so the two agencies are working together with his family to plan a service that will honor his life, Lt. Eric Bentley of the Huntley Fire Protection District said.
Just like anybody when they lose a family member, we re suffering the loss and each and every one of us is humbled to have such a great leader in Albert Schlick, Bentley said.
