The search for a new South Beloit Fire Chief is moving along at a brisk pace as city officials are preparing to interview six applicants for the position on Saturday.
Brian Hedrington, who serves as commissioner of health and public safety on the city council, said there were 20 to 25 applicants for the fire chief’s position. He said the applications came from all over the United States, including Texas, California, Missouri and Minnesota.
Hedrington, as health and public safety commissioner, has been tasked with presenting the final pick for the job to the city council, but he has asked for input from other council members and city staff in the selection process.
