Some promotions and new hires are taking place within the Lyon Township Fire Department.
Various appointments were approved during the recently held virtual meeting of the Lyon Township Board. Fire Chief Ken Van Sparrentak reported the department recently lost four positions at the fire officer rank in paid-on-call, so theyâre going through little bit of a restructuring. He said they conducted oral interviews for the new position of assistant chief with candidates first evaluated by two external fire chiefs while second interviews took place at the township hall with two board members. Based on the outcome of both interviews, Van Sparrentak said his recommendation was to promote Reggie Madeline as the new assistant chief.
