An assistant Fond du Lac Fire Chief says he is leaving Fond du lac with mixed emotions. Steve Beer will begin his new job as Fire Chief in Hutchinson, Kansas in April. “Its been my goal to be a fire chief some day and as I started to look around I was very fussy on the type of community. There’s a lot of job openings out there but there’s a lot of issues with certain departments,” Beer told WFDL news. “Hutchinson fit that bill of just being a great community, very comparable to Fond du lac.” Beer is leaving the Fond du Lac Fire Department after nearly 30 years of service, the last seven as assistant fire chief of operations. Beer will oversee a department that features six stations and just under 100 firefighters.
