Hampshire Fire Protection District news

This from Hampshire Fire Protection District Facebook page;

To reduce response times in our northern district due to heavy snow and possible white out conditions we are staffing our brush truck 1438 at the Illinois Tollway facility at Rt. 20 and I-90. The brush truck carries EMS equipment, extrication equipment and has fire suppression capabilities. Firefighters Morgan and Ribandt have been assigned to this detail. We signed an agreement with the Illinois Tollway two years ago for these situations. This is the second time we’ve implemented the plan. Last time we reduced response times by over 10 minutes. We thank the Illinois Tollway! This will be the last winter for this as station 2 will be open in the late spring or early summer.

Hampshire Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Hampshire fire officials said they were called to a home in the 800 block of Elm Street Monday just after 4 p.m. for a grill on fire. As firefighters responded, they could see a large header from several blocks away. When they arrived they found a large fire in the back of the 2-story home on both floors and in the attic.

Firefighters were told that someone was trapped in the home. They began searching under heavy smoke, and determined the two residents had already managed to escape before going separate ways, unable to find each other.

One resident was taken to Elgin Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. The second resident refused treatment at the scene, and a Hampshire police officer was also transported for smoke inhalation.

Firefighters were able to get the fire under control around 4:45 p.m. A propane grill on the back deck caught fire, which then spread rapidly up the side of the house and into the attic. The home was badly damaged by the fire.

Hampshire Fire Protection District news (more)

Excerpts from the NWHerald.com:

With the approval of a referendum to set a tax rate that would add $236,000 to the Hampshire Fire Protection District’s budget, officials are looking to add staff and replace outdated vehicles.

Deputy Fire Chief Trevor Herrmann said the district has taken more than 1,200 calls this year, about 200 of which occurred when the crew was handling multiple calls at once. With the referendum’s passage, the district will increase its personnel levels from four firefighter/paramedics to five every shift starting June 1.

The district will be looking to add between three and five new crew members.

Any revenue left over will go toward the replacement of one of the district’s ambulances and fire engines. The district’s secondary ambulance is 11 years old, while its secondary fire engine is 21 years old.

These investments will not come without a cost to taxpayers. For the owner of a $200,000 home, the new tax rate would amount to an estimated $67 increase in the fire district’s portion of his or her property tax bill. The referendum narrowly advanced in the primary election, winning by a margin of only three votes, 552-549. It then received about 52 percent of the vote in the Nov. 6 election.

Leading up to the election, School District 300 put its support behind the referendum because of its strong partnership with the fire protection district and the reliability it has shown to students and staff.
