La Grange Fire Chief David Fleege retired, effective today, after six years on the job.
Village President Elizabeth Asperger Monday night said she would recommend Lt. Bill Bryzgalski, a 26-year veteran of the fire department, to succeed Fleege as chief.
The village board will consider Bryzgalski's appointment at its Oct. 11 meeting, she said.
