DuPage County fire department numbering (update)

Dec 1

Posted by Admin in Fire Service News | 12 Comments

This from CARMA CHICAGO:

Villa Park FD using new numbers on DU-COMM Fire East

Station 1 (unused, AFAIK) is just south of St. Charles Road on Home Avenue. The original West Suburban Fire Rescue Alliance numbering plan for DuPage County does show 81 for station 2 (north) and 82 for station 3 (south) with 83 and 84 being their reserve numbers and no mention of station 1 - but the original plan hasn't been followed much for numbering changes in the last year or so.

Villa Park FD is using new station and rig numbers on DU-COMM Fire East (154.415, 192.8 PL). I heard the tail end of a call where Engine 82 returned to quarters and Medic 81 went to Elmhurst Hospital. I believe they have two active stations and possibly a spare. It would seem that they're using 81 and 82 for their stations and front line rigs - does anyone know what number or numbers they're using for reserve rigs, etc.?

I show 81 for station 1, 82 for station 2, and 83, 84 for reserves. Don't they have an unused/old/semi-used station just south of St Charles in addition to the one near Roosevelt and the other one north of the UPRR?

The following is a list of Du Page County station numbering from CARMA Chicago:

Changes in DuPage County – DuComm North

Feb 28

Posted by bgshap in Fire Service News | 3 Comments

Departments in DuPage County that operate on the DuComm north channel (154.1750) are instigating a new numbering system for stations and apparatus. Some of those changes are outlined below;

West Chicago FPD
Sta 2 = 5    Eng 5 Amb 5
Sta 1 = 6    Tower 6, Tnk 6, Sqd 6 Battalion 6
Sta 3 = 7    Eng 6 Amb 6  
Sta 4 = 8    Eng 8? (it’s the crash rig)
Carol Stream FPD
Sta 3 = 27    Sqd 27, 27a Amb 27
Sta 1 = 28    Tower 28, Amb 28 Bn 28
Sta 2 = 29    Eng 29 Amb 29
Winfield FPD
Sta 1 = 31    Eng 31 Tnk 31Amb 31
Sta 2 = 32    Eng 32
Wheaton
Sta 37
Sta 38
Sta 39
John Tulipano tells us that
these changes are part of a larger program that is instituting combined training, SOP’s and SOG’s in several towns and FPDs. There has been on-going combined training and standardized operating procedures since at least last summer. As an example, the TL in West Chicago and the TL in Carol Stream have the same seating assignments and operating procedures on the fireground.
