Can I have the station come to a block party or our organization?

Yes, if your neighborhood is having a block party or your organization would like the fire department come to you, contact Dennis Demes at 847-741-3151 to schedule a date and time.  We ask that you understand that the firefighters that will come are on duty, so they may arrive later than planned or have to leave unexpectedly to answer an emergency call.

What is the difference between a fire department and a fire protection district?

A fire department usually only protects one area within the boundaries of a village or city.  A fire protection district protects areas of multiple villages and unincorporated areas.  Fire protection districts are the most common type of fire services in the state of Illinois.

How do I get a new Fire Sign put up?

If your fire sign is damaged or unreadable please contact 847-741-3151 and speak to any firefighter about getting a new fire sign.  The district is currently in the process of putting up new fire signs for all addresses in the district.  If you are in need of a temporary sign please don't hesitate to contact us.  We can usually get you a new sign the same day you call.
