In 2013, Verona-Kinsman Fire Chief Paul Anderson retired from the department after 39 years of service, 25 of which were spent as chief, due to his failing health. He was experiencing weakness in his foot, which led him to several doctors, countless tests and eventually, in early 2017, to Chicago where he received a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Anderson passed away April 26, after a brief battle with this neuromuscular disease. He was 71.
