Tinley Park Fire Department news

This from Mike Summa:

The following was taken from the September 18th edition of the “Village View” newspaper.  In order to meet the 21st Century needs of the Tinley Park Fire Department, the village will demolish Fire Station No. 47, at 7825 W. 167th St. and construct a new station in its place.  Key features of the new station will include bunk room facilities to accommodate constant occupancy of six to eight firefighters.  Demolition of the old building is slated to begin in winter 2018, with construction to follow spring 2019.  If all goes as planned, the new station should open in the fall of 2019.
