From Elk Grove Township Fire Department on Facebook:
1979-2023: As of 0730 today we have closed the doors to the firehouse, but this isn’t just a firehouse this IS are home and has been for many others throughout the years. We may be closed but our members will move on to serve other communities as this is more than just a job to us. We are very grateful to have gotten to serve our community for all these years. Thank you to all our members and our district for everything you’ve done day in and day out. Township companies in quarters and OOS….

Sounds like Mt. Prospect is going to be taking over the station and the tanker. Mt. Prospect is going to put 6 guys at 11. Maybe they will be a jump company between engine and ambulance

Who is taking over their Still District? Will the fire department or fire departments that are taking over be within a mile and a half to 2 miles as that is the ISO (Insurance Services) maximum distance requirment for an Engine company in a “built upon area”. If the mile and a half distance requirement is not going to be met then can a neighboring fire department take over the Elkgrove fire station?
