Bensenville Fire District news

Found at Bensenville Professional Firefighters Local 2968 on Facebook:

***Attention Residents of Bensenville***

See our official letter below opposing the actions of our current board of fire trustees and the Village President Frank DeSimone, who endorses them. Not a single Bensenville resident should have to wait longer for an ambulance to reach them when they call 911, but that is exactly what happened a few days ago at an in town structure fire with a burn victim.

This can and will continue to happen as long as our staffing model remains with a minimum daily staffing of 7 personnel. Ask the fire board and Frank why they don’t support increasing our minimum staffing back to 9, when the residents are the ones who suffer the most.

VOTE FOR OUR CANDIDATES
