Roberts Park Fire Protection District news

From Robert’s Park FPD

#chicagoareafire.com; #RobertsParkFPD; #firefighters;Roberts Park Fire Protection District responded to 4,866 calls for service in 2024—our busiest year yet! Despite adjustments to reduce certain responses (like fire alarms in neighboring towns without confirmed fires), we’ve seen a noticeable rise in non-emergent calls. While we are always here to answer every call, it’s important to remember that non-emergent calls can delay our crews from responding to life-threatening emergencies. As we step into 2025, we wish everyone a safe and healthy year ahead. Please remember: 911 is for emergencies. Let’s work together to keep our community safe! 
 
thanks Martin
