Excerpts from the KaneCountyChronicle.com: The Fox River and Countryside Fire/Rescue District is set to make a key leadership change, as its board plans to appoint a new chief of operations during a special meeting on Tuesday, August 25. This position is not intended to replace current Chief Greg Benson, who has led the district since its establishment in 2011. Instead, the new role will focus specifically on the daily operations at the district’s two stations. Board President Jim Gaffney explained that the decision to create this new position was made to better manage the day-to-day functions of the fire department. “We want to isolate these responsibilities so we can be more efficient and effective,†he said. While the identity of the new chief hasn’t been officially announced yet, Gaffney confirmed that the individual will be introduced at the meeting, which is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Station 3, located at 34W500 Carl Lee Road in St. Charles Township. The appointment will officially take effect on Wednesday, according to Gaffney. The agenda also includes the approval of the new chief’s contract. In addition to the station in St. Charles Township, the district operates another station along Route 64 in Campton Hills. Together, the two stations serve approximately 25,000 residents across 38 square miles, covering areas such as Wayne, Campton Hills, and St. Charles Township. Greg Benson, the long-serving chief of the Fox River and Countryside Fire/Rescue District, will be retiring by the end of October, according to a recent announcement from the district. Benson has been with the department since its formation in 2011, when it transitioned from being a paper district that relied on services from the city of St. Charles. In his place, the district has appointed Carl DeLeo as chief of operations. DeLeo will oversee all operational aspects of the fire department, including station management and firefighter coordination. Board President Jim Gaffney noted that the title was chosen to allow for future flexibility, should the district ever need to hire someone focused solely on administrative duties. DeLeo brings over three decades of experience to the role, having retired as a captain from the Lisle/Woodridge Fire Protection District. His background in both operational and leadership roles makes him a strong fit for the new position. The district is now preparing for a smooth transition as Benson steps down and DeLeo takes the helm.
