Oak Brook Fire Department news

Mar 16

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News | 2 Comments

From Associated Firefighters of Oak Brook IAFF Local 4646:

On April 1st the Village will be terminating its contract with Paramedic Services of Illinois (PSI) and eliminating 9 paramedics from the fire department. There have been multiple elected officials and now candidates for Oak Brook trustee that have stated there will be no reduction of service.

We know that seconds matter when it comes to all the different types of emergencies we respond to and reducing daily minimum staffing by 27% will certainly affect those response times.

But, you don’t have to just take our word for it. Take a listen to the clip below where Dr. Gopal Lalmalani, prior to being elected to Village President, urges the Board of Trustees not to eliminate 6 paramedics. April 1st, his board is eliminating 9 paramedics.
