New fire station in Glenview (more)

Excerpts from a Journal-Topics.com article on Glenview’s new headquarters fire station:

Glenview village trustees took their first tour of the new Fire Station No. 6 adjacent to village hall on Waukegan Road.

The building is substantially complete, save the installation of phone and computer systems.

New Fire Chief Ralph Ensign has moved his administrative staff into the three-bay, nine-bunk firehouse, but said moving firefighters in to respond to calls … would have to wait for a few weeks until phone, communication and computer systems are fully installed.

Firefighters have been working out of temporary quarters on Glenview Road at the site of the park district’s former maintenance garage that burned down in recent years.

Initial estimates for the three full-bay, nine-bunk firehouse were $5,673,000 in October.

Will County dispatch changes

Apr 15

Posted by Admin in Fire Service News | 3 Comments

This from Bill Friedrich:

On or about April 15th, the five fire districts being dispatched by the Lincoln-Way Public Safety Communications Center will be changing their apparatus numbers. This will affect their radio call signs as well. The apparatus number will match the station number as follows:

  • Apparatus out of East Joliet Station number 1 will carry the designation of East Joliet Station #53
  • Apparatus out of East Joliet Station number 2 will carry the designation of East Joliet Station #52
  • Apparatus out of East Joliet Station number 3 will carry the designation of East Joliet Station #51
  • Apparatus out of New Lenox Station number 1 will carry the designation of  New Lenox Station #61
  • Apparatus out of New Lenox Station number 2 will carry the designation of  New Lenox Station #62
  • Apparatus out of New Lenox Station number 3 will carry the designation of  New Lenox Station #63
  • Apparatus out of New Lenox Station number 4 will carry the designation of New Lenox Station #64
  • Apparatus out of Frankfort Station number 1 will carry the designation of  Frankfort Station #71
  • Apparatus out of Frankfort Station number 2 will carry the designation of  Frankfort Station #72
  • Apparatus out of Frankfort Station number 3 will carry the designation of  Frankfort Station #73
  • Apparatus out of Frankfort Station number 4 will carry the designation of  Frankfort Station #74
  • Apparatus out of Frankfort Station number 5 will carry the designation of  Frankfort Station #75
  • Apparatus out of Manhattan Station number 1 will carry the designation of  Manhattan Station #81
  • Apparatus out of Manhattan Station number 2 will carry the designation of  Manhattan Station #82
  • Apparatus out of Manhattan Station number 1 will carry the designation of Manhattan Station #83
  • Apparatus out of Mokena Station number 1 will carry the designation of Mokena Station #91
  • Apparatus out of Mokena Station number 2 will carry the designation of Mokena Station #92
  • Apparatus out of Mokena Station number 3 will carry the designation of Mokena Station #93

The way this will work is an engine responding from Station #81 will have a radio call sign of Manhattan Engine 81. An ambulance responding from Station #93 will have a radio call sign of Mokena Ambulance 93. A chief responding from Station #71 will have a radio call sign of Frankfort Chief 71.

The new numbering system and radio call sign change will be for all responses, including all mutual aid responses. If you are in Will County, you will not have to change any of your recommends, since these changes are made in the county CAD and will reflect in your recommends as well.
