January 22, 2025
Wauconda Fire District Chief Patrick Kane will retire this January after leading the district since June 2022. During his tenure as the Fire Chief, he had a vision to raise the bar to improve the delivery by Wauconda Paramedics of emergency medical services to the residents of our community. Chief Kane, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, served the fire district honorably and with pride first with the Wauconda Fire Department, Inc. as a part-time firefighter in 1995. He was hired as a career member of the department as a Firefighter Paramedic in 1999. After the department merged into the fire district, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 2009, Battalion Chief in 2016, Deputy Chief in 2019 and will conclude his career as Fire Chief later this month.
