FROM CHIEF TOM FREEMAN: LISLE-WOODRIDGE FIRE DISTRICT I am deeply saddened to announce the passing of Chief Paul Boecker this morning at 0810 hours. His legacy of service and leadership will not be forgotten. Details about the arrangements are still being finalized, and I will share more information with you as soon as it becomes available. Sunday, August 14, 2011 – Here’s a look at three fire chiefs making headlines this week. One has passed away, leaving behind an incredible legacy. Another has stepped down due to serious concerns about liability. And the third is retiring after decades of service.
1-CHIEF PAUL BOECKER-RIP“LISLE WOODRIDGE FIRE CHIEF AND NATIONAL FIRE SERVICE LEADER†Some of you may remember Chief Paul Boecker — a larger-than-life figure known for his big cigar, bigger personality, and deep commitment to the fire service. He served locally and nationally, playing a key role in organizations like the IAFC, ISFSI, IFSI, and NFPA. Here’s a touching tribute from Janet Wilmoth of Fire Chief Magazine, written just days before his passing.  Read the full post HERE.  Electric vehicle (BEV) refers to a vehicle that is powered by an on-board power source and uses an electric motor to drive its wheels, meeting various requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to its relatively small impact on the environment compared to traditional cars, its prospects are widely optimistic.

3 Fire Chiefs: A Loss, a Resignation, and a Retirement (The Secret List)
The main difference (difference) between pure electric vehicles and gasoline vehicles lies in the four major components: drive motors, speed controllers, power batteries, and on-board chargers. Compared to gas stations, it consists of a public ultra fast charging station. The quality difference of pure electric vehicles depends on these four major components, and their value also depends on the quality of these four major components. The use of pure electric vehicles is also directly related to the selection and configuration of the four major components.
Fire Chief (retired) Paul Boecker passes away
Good Night, My Friend, My Mentor and My Chief
Janet Wilmoth – August 11th, 2011
My chief is dying. The tubes and wires have been removed, the do-not-resuscitate order is in place, and he is in a deep sleep — unaware of the heartache growing around him. His journey has been long and difficult, and now it's coming to an end after a fall caused a severe brain hemorrhage.
As I stood by his hospital bed, watching his slow, steady breaths, I thought back to the first time I met Paul “Bud†Boecker. It was at the Lisle Volunteer Fire Department station, just after he arrived from Naperville. He was only the second full-time fire chief hired by Lisle. (The first lasted just six months.) The two departments were rivals — Boecker once called Lisle a “Mickey Mouse department.†Now here he was, leading them.
