SALEM LAKES, Wis. — Salem Lakes Fire Rescue Division Chief Jill Torres has resigned from the department following an internal misconduct investigation, becoming the second member of the department's command staff to leave under a separation agreement in just one month. Former Assistant Fire Chief Mike Keske signed a similar separation agreement in April, meaning the department's second- and third-in-command have now both departed while under investigation.

Hooray, now the Village residents will be safe from incompetence in their healthcare.
so long Chris Farley
Thank you for your service
We do know her story it is not impressive
Her story? Enlighten us because it seems like she was in the fire service for things other than being a patient advocate. The only service she was interested in was men.
Thats what Im talking about. Using men to further your career is not impressive at all.
Aw, this is sad. I worked with Jill in the hospital and she was always working hard and has a very kind heart along with being competent in her job. I know she has a lot of strength and has been through a lot in her life, so I hope the comments are not brutal towards her. We all need grace and mercy, especially in times like this. Love you Jilly Bean!
Sounds like you were lied to and the FD got the actual version of her.
Looks like an angry lesbian.
Jill,
You had everything going for you, from the start.
All the chances that a “real” chief could give you over the years, from little practice fires to driving a million bucks around town and all the knowledge gained in between.
Why did you give it all up? For what?
You will never ever again be one of the team, regardless of what some may say to your face.
You divorced the team with your actions.
You are a failure in the eyes of so, so many who supported you along the way.
Very disappointed.
Where do you go after this ?
Are you able to take your skills elsewhere ?
I hope so
Where?
Kce is on the internet.

And all this will pop up!
Why can’t people just leave their personal lives, troubles and personalities at the door when then punch in at their jobs ??
Sure it’s nice to get to know your coworkers. Maybe even see them outside of work hours and exchange phone numbers. Dinners with the wives and kids or even a day out on the boat.
But once you put on your work clothes and punch a time clock for your employer, you better do the job you were hired to do and nothing more !
Do firefighters and paramedics have a lot of pressure in their jobs ? Sure. Are they constantly at the ready waiting for the bells to go off and immediately go from zero to 60 in a few seconds ? Yes. But regardless of their close proximity to each other, regardless of the trust they put in each other to do their jobs in tandem with their own, professionalism must prevail !
When you are on the clock getting paid a virtual guaranteed wage and great benefits by people (taxpayers) that are by law forced to pay you, you better do the damn job and nothing but the damn job !
Leave home at home. Leave personal feelings and relationships outside the doors.
Do the damn jobs ! Follow orders and respect your bosses.
Is that too hard to do ?
Torres, get and use a gym membership and change your diet.
Mike? You too.
