WOODSTOCK CAREER FIREFIGHTERS ENDORSE SANKEY/SPITZER FOR FIRE DISTRICT TRUSTEE
Woodstock, IL. The Woodstock Career Firefighters, IAFF Local 4813, is proud to announce the endorsement of Scott Sankey and Fred Spitzer for the position of Trustee with the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District. “Each of our members swore an oath to protect the community. That protection extends beyond fire protection and emergency medical response. We owe it to the community to seek out and endorse candidates that will responsibly manage the District [Woodstock Fire/Rescue District],” said Scott Wessel, President of Local 4813.
Scott previously worked for the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District as a Captain. He currently works for the Park Ridge Fire Department as a Battalion Chief. Scott’s extensive career in the fire service gives him a firm understanding of the needs and expectations of the community. Specifically, his understanding of modern fire tactics, staffing needs, and fiscal responsibility make him a prime candidate for Trustee. Scott is an incumbent candidate running for his second term.
Fred retired from the Woodstock City Police Department after more than 30 years of service. During his career he worked as a patrolman and the D.A.R.E. officer. Fred’s career exposed him to the best and worst that Woodstock has to offer. These experiences will allow him to tailor the services of the fire district to meet the unique dynamics of our community. There are few individuals that are more in tune with the needs of a community than its police officers. Fred is abundantly qualified for the position and looks forward to the opportunity to continue his service to Woodstock as Trustee of the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District.
According to Wessel, “Both candidate’s track record of service to the community falls in line with our member’s values. We believe that Scott Sankey and Fred Spitzer possess the requisite qualifications to manage the affairs of the fire district which will permit us to uphold our oath to serve the community we love.”
