From Topix.com:
The decision will, as one trustee put it, “change the face of Lakewood” by closing the village’s only fire station on Haligus Road and operating out of a Crystal Lake station on the other side of town. The Lakewood Village Board voted, 3-1, with one trustee abstaining Tuesday night, to go with a slightly cheaper contract offered by the Crystal Lake Fire Department that tied increases to the village’s tax base over renewing its contract with the Woodstock Fire Rescue Protection District.

And this is where it all started when Lakewood split from Crystal Lake to start their own Department. A private company, then Lakewood cancelled that and went with Woodstock, now back to Crystal Lake (also a very expensive lawsuit back in 2006/07 when the split first started between the Village of Lakewood & City of Crystal Lake)!
