From Roberts Park FPD on Facebook;
Thank you, thank you, thank you! In just four short hours at Jewel-Osco, our community donated a mountain of food and nearly $900 in cash for Elsie’s Food Pantry. We are truly blown away by your generosity and kindness. A huge thank you to Jesse and the team at Jewel-Osco in Hickory Hills—not only for welcoming us outside the store, but for also donating food themselves. Your support means the world.To anyone who came by after 2:00pm, we’re sorry we missed you! Duty called and our crews had to respond to an emergency—but it’s not too late to help. We’re still collecting donations!Drop off items: Station 1 – 8611 S Roberts Rd in Justice 8:00am to 7:00pm daily through Wednesday, May 7th 2025.Let’s keep the momentum going and help Elsie’s Pantry reopen their doors to the many local families who rely on them. Thank you for showing up for your neighbors!#NationalFirefightersDay #GiveBack #CommunityFirst #RobertsParkFire #FoodDrive #ElsiesPantry #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

Fire Chief Jeffrey Ketchen Retirement Announcement
Roberts Park Fire Protection District responded to 4,866 calls for service in 2024—our busiest year yet! Despite adjustments to reduce certain responses (like fire alarms in neighboring towns without confirmed fires), we’ve seen a noticeable rise in non-emergent calls. While we are always here to answer every call, it’s important to remember that non-emergent calls can delay our crews from responding to life-threatening emergencies. As we step into 2025, we wish everyone a safe and healthy year ahead. Please remember: 911 is for emergencies. Let’s work together to keep our community safe!
