House fire in Markham, 12-12-23

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

I took in a working fire in Markham last week at 16003 S Central Park Ave. First companies arrived on scene with heavy fire showing from the front and back of this place. Shortly thereafter, they went defensive and decided to let it go. I arrived about 30 minutes into the fire and this is what I found. Markham Engine 33 had a few lines off and was feeding Flossmoor’s tower ladder. Full gallery is HERE

Flossmoor Fire Department news

From Flossmoor.org:

new Flossmoor FD Fire Chief Robert Kopec FLOSSMOOR, Ill. – March 12, 2021 – At Monday’s village board meeting, Mayor Paul Braun appointed Robert Kopec to the position of fire chief of the Flossmoor Fire Department effective April 5, lifting the responsibilities from Interim Fire Chief Greg Berk. Kopec was selected from a competitive pool of candidates following a recruitment process by the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association.

In Flossmoor, the position of fire chief is a mayoral appointment with a confirming vote by the village board of trustees. The position reports on a day-to-day basis to the village manager. The board of trustees unanimously approved the appointment of Kopec, who joins the Flossmoor Fire Department after serving as deputy fire chief and fire chief for seven years at the City of Country Club Hills Fire Department.

Prior to serving as fire chief for the Country Club Hills Fire Department, Chief Kopec held a number of roles including deputy chief and captain with the Beecher Fire Protection District, as well as experience with the Markham Fire Department, Harvey Fire Department, and the Thornton Fire Department.

Chief Kopec also holds a Chief Fire Officer certification from the Illinois State Fire Marshal Office, an associate’s degree in fire science from Columbia Southern University, an emergency medical technician license from South Suburban College, a Firefighter III certification, HazMat training, Fire Service Instructor, and a number of others.

As a career fire service member, Chief Kopec has served in a number of different department settings, but one thing he looks forward to in joining the Flossmoor Fire Department is the balance of volunteer firefighters, part-time firefighters, and full-time firefighters in the department. 

With the appointment of Chief Kopec, the village would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Interim Fire Chief Greg Berk, who came out of retirement to serve the Village of Flossmoor.

Area fire department receive grants

Excerpts from the journalreview.com:

Calumet City, Flossmoor, Crete Township, and South Holland fire departments have received a combined total of $610,000 in grant money to improve their stations and get equipment that will increase firefighter safety.

The Calumet City Fire Department was awarded a $142,000 grant, which will go toward updating two of its fire station’s ventilation systems to air out toxic vehicle exhaust fumes. The department will also use the funds to buy 15 sets of turnout gear and 38 helmets.

They previously had been awarded multiple grants through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, which provided the department with a mobile training simulator, specialized training props, personal protective equipment and a special response vehicle.

In 2018, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program made $315 million directly available to fire department, state fire training academies, and emergency medical service organizations to buy equipment, emergency vehicles and fund training.

The Flossmoor Fire Department received $222,345 and will buy emergency breathing equipment, replacing equipment that was nearly 20 years old.

The Crete Township Fire Protection District was awarded $52,380 and plans to install fire station vehicle exhaust systems. South Holland Fire Department was given $193,409 to buy new air packs.
