SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - Springfield's city council has confirmed a new fire chief in a Tuesday vote. 
Brandon Blough, 48, was announced on Nov. 30 by Mayor Jim Langfelder as the city's replacement for Allen Reyne, who has retired. Blough had been acting chief for the city following Reyne's departure at the end of November.

His multiple roles include serving as a firefighter from 1999 to 2006, a driver-engineer from 2006 to 2010, a technical rescue team diver from 2001 to 2002, a captain from 2010 to 2018, and a deputy division chief of operations beginning in 2018.
