Loves Park Fire Department news

Excerpts from wrex.com:

According to Loves Park Fire Chief, James Hart, an older section of Forest Hills Village, a private mobile home community currently has a lack of working fire hydrants that are not supplying proper water pressure due to inadequate water main sizes and aging water system.

Forest Hills informed an engineering firm which is also used by the city, on the issue and later reached out to the city on possible solutions. Right now, an approved plan by both the City Loves Park Fire Department and the village water department is in place to bring 19 working fire hydrants to those areas of concern.

The next step is to survey the area of where improvements along with more testing before they hit the ground running, not impact any of the working hydrants on the east side of the village.

“After testing we are going to take that data back into an engineer drawing to lay out the position of the water mains, valves, water placement all of that stuff once all of that is done and all conflicts are resolved with that, they will then put together a bid package.”

Excerpts from wrex.com:

On June 23rd, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s office and Loves Park Fire Department (LPFD) announced an agreement for 911 dispatching services and this past Monday, the tele-communicators at the Winnebago County 911 Center started to dispatch emergency calls for the Loves Park Fire Department. LFPD will also gain access to the county’s Computer Aided Dispatch software (CAD) giving them all the  dispatch information right at their fingertips.

Previously, when a Loves Park resident called 911, the operator would then contact Mercyhealth, who would then call the agency that was needed, creating a time delay of anywhere from 30 seconds to one minute.

The county tele-communicators are responsible for receiving all 911 calls representing both emergency and non-emergency requests outside the City of Rockford, and for dispatching all law enforcement agencies outside the City of Rockford.

The Loves  Park Fire Department is the first fire agency to be dispatched by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office.

Excerpts from wrex.com:

At Tuesday’s Loves Park City Council meeting, James Hart will be sworn in as the next Chief of the Loves Park Fire Department.

Hart is a deputy chief serving the Loves Park Fire department since 2018. Hart has also served as a paramedic in Rockford and in Colorado.

Hart succeeds Jerry Wiltfang, who has served as Loves Park fire chief since 2018.

At the Dec. 19 meeting, city council members approved a resolution for Wiltfang to serve as a part-time assistant to the Loves Park mayor, taking the new role of Director of Emergency Operations.

Officials credit Wiltfang as a major part of expanding the role of the Loves Park Fire Department, growing from a volunteer department to having 24/7 response teams.

Under Wiltfang, the department has also gotten newer equipment and opened a new fire station to allow for better response times for more people in the city.

The city council will meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Loves Park City Hall. The full agenda for Tuesday’s meeting can be found here.

Excerpts from wrex.com:

Loves Park Fire Department officials announced the opening of a new fire station on Wednesday at 5180 Rock Valley Parkway on the east side of the city. The station is in a former auto body shop that was remodeled to fit the needs of the fire department and will house an ambulance and a quint. A building dedication and open house will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 9 a.m. for the public with cake and coffee until 11 a.m.

Back in February, the Loves Park City Council approved the $1.5 million project. All funding was through the federal American Rescue Plan Act.

The City of Loves Park will continue to operate the station on Windsor Rd. The Grand Ave. station, the original city hall built in 1947, will close as a fire station and be used by the city’s public works department.

Excerpts from wifr.com:

In 2021, the Loves Park Fire Department responded to 1,211 calls in one area of the city alone without a fire station. On Monday night, the city board approved a $1.5 million deal for a third fire station on Rock Valley Parkway on Loves Park’s east side to significantly decrease the response time to calls in that area. The third station will house an ambulance and engine.

The district’s first station, which has been in Loves Park since 1947, is located at 400 Grand Ave. Their second station is at 1527 Windsor Rd. Once the third station opens, the station on Grand Ave. will be turned into public works storage because of the census count in this part of the city, and the fact that the building can’t hold the current emergency vehicles.

According to the Insurance Services Office, a new station could lead to a decrease in premium costs, such as a few $100 dollars for residents.

The new station should be closed on within the next month, followed by another month of moving equipment and vehicles into the new space. The third station should be open by May 2022.
