Oak Forest Fire Department news

From Oak Forest Fire Fighters Union Local 3039 Facebook Page;

Don’t be alarmed if you see a Tinley Park Fire engine responding with Oak Forest firefighters in it… our aging fleet is catching up with us! Thankfully, our neighbors at the Tinley Park Fire Department were generous enough to lend us one of theirs. We officially no longer have a ladder truck (previously a 2001 ladder truck) protecting our multi-story buildings in town. Our reserve fire engine (a 1999) doesn’t have functional emergency lights and can’t be put in service if one of our front-line engines goes down (E39: 2006, E40: 2020)
