Fredonia Fire Chief Brian Schommer has spent much of his tenure lobbying for better facilities for his department. Although plans are moving on a major expansion project that should ease cramped conditions at the fire station next year, it turns out Schommer will not be around to enjoy the fruits of his lobbying efforts. Village trustees accepted Schommer’s resignation at last week’s Village Board meeting. He has led the department for nearly 22 years. Schommer did not attend the board meeting, but submitted a succinct letter of resignation.
