LAGRANGE â The LaGrange Town Board has hired a new fire chief.
The board voted Monday night to name Jeremy Edwards, a long-time member of the LaGrange Volunteer Fire Department, the departmentâs new chief.
Edwards replaces Dave Elick who resigned last month as fire chief after his employer made changes to Elickâs job.
Elick said those changes made it impossible for him to continue as chief.
Edwards was one of four people to apply for the position. LaGrange Town Board President Ray Hoover said the board had good interviews with all four candidates. Edwards will fill out the remaining 19 months left on Elickâs contract. At that point, the town will review his performance in the position.
