From lrfd.org:
The Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (LRFD) is asking residents to vote on a $25 million bond referendum to construct an strategically located fire station at 3750 Deerfield Road. This critical project will improve response times across the entire District, enhance firefighter safety and improve efficiency without reducing staff levels. The new station aims to increase the number of arrivals at emergency scenes within 4 minutes – the current National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) standard – improving safety for both the public and firefighters.
We value the opportunity to collaborate with our community for everyone’s safety and well-being. By listening to residents, understanding community needs and strategically positioning resources, we will respond more quickly and effectively, protecting lives and property.
Learn more below about how this investment will benefit our community and help ensure the highest level of emergency services.
Residents to Decide on Critical Upgrades to Emergency Services New station to enhance emergency response times and meet future demands. Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, IL
Residents in the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (LRFD) will soon decide on a $25 million referendum to strengthen local emergency services. If approved, the funding will support the construction of a modern fire station designed to improve response times, enhance firefighter safety and meet the growing needs of the District’s 19,233 residents. The referendum question will appear on the April 1, 2025, consolidated election ballot.
The LRFD currently operates three fire stations, located on Woodlands Parkway in Vernon Hills, Schelter Road in Lincolnshire and Saunders Road in Riverwoods. The existing fire stations on Schelter and Saunders Roads have reached or are nearing the end of their useful lives (30 years) and would need to be completely rebuilt or remodeled to meet current codes and accommodate a diverse workforce. Additionally, they are not optimally located to best respond to emergency needs.
If approved, the referendum would fund a new, strategically located fire station at 3750 Deerfield Road, combining operations from Stations 51 and 52 (on Schelter Road in Lincolnshire and Saunders Road in Riverwoods, respectively). Sta?ing levels will remain the same. A recent study conducted by the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association (IFCA) highlighted the District’s need for an updated and optimally located station to address increased call volumes and evolving community needs. Emergency call volumes to the LRFD rose 23% from 2020 to 2024, underscoring the importance of modernizing the District’s infrastructure.
After reviewing studies and planning for five years, LRFD partnered with Riverwoods and Lake County, Illinois, to purchase land at 3750 Deerfield Road for the new fire station.

From Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD Facebook page:
In 2005, Squad 51 was introduced and put into service thanks to grants and department funding. Over the past 20 years, it has responded to numerous emergencies in Lake, Cook, McHenry, and even Kenosha counties. Squad 51 has been utilized for emergency medical services (EMS), auto accidents, residential and commercial fires, and technical rescues, including trench and structural collapse incidents. It has consistently served as our reliable workhorse, stepping in for fire engines and our ladder truck when they required maintenance and repairs. We are very excited to introduce our NEW Squad 51 and are confident it will serve us just as well as its predecessor. We invite you to stop by Station 51 to take a look at our new squad and perhaps even say goodbye to the original Squad 51! More pictures and videos of the new squad coming soon!!

Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD (LRFPD) firefighters were sent to a reported house fire this morning at 1975 Rose Terrace in Riverwoods. After receiving a call from the homeowner reporting flames in the garage, the alarm was upgraded to a Working Fire. The first engine arrived at the large, two-story home and reported a fully-involved attached garage before initiating a transitional attack with a 2 1/2″ line.
Departments assisting the LRFPD at the scene were the Long Grove FPD, the Deerfield-Bannockburn FPD, the Countryside FPD, and Wheeling. After being on scene for roughly 30 minutes, the alarm was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm as companies found additional pockets of fire extension in the house. On the Box Alarm, companies came from Lake Zurich, Mundelein, Gurnee, and Libertyville.
The fire was contained and several mutual aid companies were returned from the staging area in short order.
Here are some images from Larry Shapiro who arrived after the Box Alarm.
