Elwood Fire Chief Demoted by the City’s Mayor

Elwood’s Fire Chief has been demoted, after he was seen using his department vehicle out-of-state last week. Chief Brad Compton was spotted using his department vehicle in Illinois last week. Elwood Mayor Todd Jones received an email about the truck with images that showed Compton and his Fire Department truck parked in Marshall, Illinois.
Taking a state department truck out of Indiana and using it for a non-emergency related event is in violation of the Elwood city department’s regulations. After internal investigations, Compton was demoted to a non-administrative role. Assistant Chief Mark Sullivan will be sworn in as the new fire department’s chief.
