The District serves approximately 18,000 residents covering 15 square miles of suburban residential, commercial, and light industrial occupancies.

The North Park Fire Department is comprised of approximately 50 personnel including one full-time fire chief, a part-time administrative assistant, and a combination of part-time and volunteer firefighters. The district is served by three fire stations housing a total of four front-line engines, including one capable of providing urban-wildland interface, one aerial truck, three squads, three command vehicles, one utility vehicle and one boat. The department responds to an average of 1,500 calls for service each year.
North Park Fire would like to congratulate Chief John Bergeron on being sworn in as the Fire Chief of the Harlem-Roscoe Fire Protection District last evening.
Few in this business have the kind of reputation that Chief Bergeron has built for himself in his over four decades of service. We wish him the best of luck in his new position, and expect he'll provide many years of leadership to the department. (Photos borrowed from Harlem-Roscoe Fire Protection District.)
