From Oak Forest firefighters union local 3039 Facebook:

Well, we have good news and bad news! Bad news first…we currently do NOT have any Oak Forest fire apparatus “in-service”.

Our neighbors to the west, Village of Tinley Park Public Safety and Orland Fire Protection District, IL are each letting us use an engine to keep from a break in emergency services.

The good news, we’re being told we have allocated funds and a thumbs up to purchase new fire apparatus! We are happy and hoping to move forward with that process as quickly as we can.

Excerpts from wjol.com:

At approximately 1:55 a.m. on Monday, September 2, 2024, the Western Will County Communication Center (WESCOM) received a 911 call stating there was a smell of smoke in a home.

The first arrivingPlainfield Fire Protection District fire unit arrived within six minutes of the 911 call and found smoke coming from around the basement door. Firefighters deployed a hose line and extinguished the fire that was contained to the basement. The family, who was asleep at the time, was alerted of the fire and able to escape due to functioning smoke alarms. A family pet perished as a result of the fire. The home was deemed uninhabitable and sustained approximately$150,000 in damage. The fire was investigated by the Plainfield Fire Protection District Fire Investigators and was determined to be accidental caused by a charging hoverboard.
