Falls seeks to fill jobs

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WKBW) — Big changes are coming to the City of Niagara Falls. Both the city's fire chief Joe Pedulla and police chief John Faso are retiring at the end of the year.

"You know my age and time and service — it's time to go enjoy the next part of my life," Pedulla said.

Pedulla and Faso, who are childhood friends, say they agreed it was time after about 60 years of combined service.

"And we figured how cool would it be to go out together," Faso said.

The joint announcement comes as the city sent a news release looking for qualified candidates to fill the following positions:

• City Controller
