WELCOME TO NORTH PARK FIRE DEPARTMENT
The North Park Fire Department is a member of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Division 8 along with 23 other area fire departments, providing apparatus and personnel during large-scale emergencies.
The North Park Fire Department is comprised of approximately 50 personnel including one full-time fire chief, four full-time paramedics, a part-time administrative assistant, and a combination of part-time and volunteer firefighters and EMTs. The district is served by one centralized fire station housing a total of three front-line engines, one aerial truck, two squads, one utility vehicle, three command vehicles, two Advanced Life Support ambulances and one boat.
We'd like to take a second to thank Total Plumbing & Heating, LTD for coming to our aid this afternoon with their sewer drain camera to inspect the plumbing on one of our engines. Due to a failed check valve, a piece of metal debris was either pushed into the rig's water tank (not so horrible) or was in the plumbing going into the intake of the pump's impeller (could have been horrible/catastrophic). Thankfully the piece was NOT in the plumbing going to the pump impeller.
Their generosity saved a great deal time of time and labor to determine where the piece ended up. THANK YOU!

Congratulations to North Park Fire alumni Ted Berger on your confirmation! Ted served for several years with North Park, ultimately achieving the rank of Deputy Chief. We're proud of all you've accomplished and that we can claim you as one of us.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.19 CommentsComment on Facebook
Congratulations to Dominic Butera and Austin Welte for completing their Basic Operations Firefighter program though the Illinois Fire Service Institute. This program required a great deal of online and self study as well as numerous weekends over the past several months. We're excited to have you part of the North Park Fire family!
