Hi everyone,
Just got this update from the Village of Arlington Heights. Ken Koeppen has officially been named the new Fire Chief! Bill Dixon, the Village Manager, made the announcement earlier today. Ken has been acting as the interim Fire Chief ever since Chief Glenn Ericksen retired back in February 2014 after 36 years of service.
Ken has been with the department for over three decades, starting as a firefighter/paramedic back in 1980. Over the years, he’s climbed the ranks, first becoming a fire lieutenant from '95 to '98, then a fire commander from '98 to 2005, and finally stepping into the role of deputy fire chief in 2005. His dedication and leadership have always been apparent, but it really shone through when he was awarded the Police Department's Lifesaver Award just last month. That honor came after he sprang into action to help Officer Michael McEvoy, who was injured during a tense hostage situation in December 2013. Ken rushed to the scene and provided critical assistance until paramedics arrived.
Bill Dixon had high praise for Ken, saying, "His integrity and ability to foster collaboration across departments make him an outstanding leader." Ken is actually the fifth Fire Chief since the department transitioned to a full-time operation back in 1958. During his time here, he’s been responsible for everything from managing staff to handling emergencies like fires, medical calls, and hazardous materials incidents.
The Arlington Heights Fire Department is massive, employing around 110 people. They handle not only firefighting but also EMS and various rescue missions. Their work spans four key areas: administration, fire suppression, emergency medical services, and training.
Ken lives in Arlington Heights with his wife and son. He expressed his excitement about leading the department and continuing to deliver top-notch service to the community. "I’ve put down roots here," he said, "and I’m committed to ensuring we keep providing the best possible care and support to everyone."
It’s definitely exciting news for the village, and I think Ken will do a fantastic job heading up such an important department!
