EDWARDSVILLE — Borough council members are now tasked with finding a new fire chief for the Edwardsville Fire Department.

Borough manager Cathy Soprano said former chief Ray King’s retirement was an unexpected announcement at Thursday’s council meeting.

“It happened rather quickly,” Soprano said. “Nobody on council was actually prepared for that letter.”

Frank Slymock was named acting chief of the department at the meeting. Soprano said council members will want to sit down with Slymock to discuss how the selection process will work.

Soprano added “there certainly is a possibility” that Slymock could be named chief.
