Onalaska Fire Chief Hayes resigns
Onalaska’s fire chief has resigned.
According to a city release, Billy Hayes resigned on Friday, in part to spend more time with his family.
The city says the chief’s duties during the pandemic have kept him away from his family at times.
Hayes also plans to devote more time to lecturing, and training firefighters.
Chief Hayes came to Onalaska almost two years ago, in the summer of 2018, from Atlanta.
