William Staton

William Staton is the former Fire Commissioner (FC) of the Chicago Fire Department in Chicago Fire. Commissioner Staton retired in Season 6 of Chicago Fire. He asked Lieutenant Kelly Severide of Rescue Squad 3 who he would choose next to be Fire Commissioner between Battalion Chief (BC) Wallace Boden and Deputy District Chief (DDC) Carl Grissom; this choice was difficult because BC Wallace Boden was his CO and colleague yet DDC Carl Grissom was his mentor and close friend while growing up. DDC Carl Grissom replace him at the beginning of Season 7 as Fire Commissioner. Not a lot is known about FC William Staton.
