Chicago Fire Dept. veteran named Illinois State Marshal

Comments January 2, 2010 SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE
 
A 30-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department — who rose in rank from paramedic to executive assistant to the fire commissioner — has been named the Illinois State Fire Marshal, the governor's office announced Saturday. Larry Matkaitis currently serves as the northern regional administrator in the Office of State Fire Marshal, a position he's held since 2005.

Matkaitis served for over three decades within the Chicago Fire Dept., rising from paramedic to chief paramedic and later assistant deputy fire commission for emergency medical operations, according to a release from Gov. Pat Quinn's office. After attending Northern Illinois University, he served in the U.S. Army for six years before being honorably discharged in 1976. He has also been a FAA-certified pilot since 1969.

"The Fire Marshal is dedicated to protecting our well-being from fire safety and prevention to elevator inspection and review," Quinn said in the release. " Larry brings a wealth of experience and dedication to this important role."

The office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal works together with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) and local departments to respond to man-made and natural emergencies, the release said. The agency also works closely with local fire departments to teach and regulate fire safety and prevention through inspections and setting personnel and education standards for Illinois firefighters.
