  Why Carol Stream fire chief shuffled administrators Aug 20, 2012 12:00 AM
  Carol Stream Fire Chief Rick Kolomay says this year's shuffle in the fire protection district's leadership ranks that brought former Chicago Fire Commissioner Bob Hoff to the district was necessitated by a desire to spread out an ever-increasing workload. Critics have questioned whether Kolomay was molding the position for Hoff. "We reached a point in my second year as fire chief, where I sat with (then-Deputy Chief Perry Johnson) and said, We're here six and a half days out of the week and we operate nights at fires when we have them.'" Kolomay said. "My family and I couldn't keep going that way and nor could his. That was the red flag, the trigger that said we need to reorganize and do this better."
