Flossmoor Fire Chief Chris Sewell Retires

FLOSSMOOR, IL — Chris Sewell, Flossmoor's fire chief since 2009, has retired.

Sewell's career as a firefighter began in Flossmoor in 1994 as a training administrator, serving for eight years before going on to be the fire chief in nearby Sauk Village. He came back to Flossmoor to be the fire chief here in 2009.

community,” Braun said. “This community is lucky to have had so many years of his incredible service. We are sad to see him go, but wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
