It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Retired Assistant Chief Edmond “Ed” Murphy. Ed started with the Roberts Park Fire Protection District in 1974 and retired in 2015, serving the District for 41 years.
On behalf of all the members of local 4323 we would like to extend our most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and co-workers of Chief Murphy.
 
Please keep Ed’s wife, Sue, his sons Lt Sean Murphy (Roberts Park) and Lt Pat Murphy (Plainfield), the rest of the Murphy family, and the Roberts Park FPD in your thoughts and prayers.

Roberts Park FPD news

From Martin Nowak:

From Roberts Park Minutes: 

Fleet Status – Ambulance 308 has been sent to Osage for its refurbishment. Expected completion is three to four months out.

When Ambulance 308 is refurbished, a power cot will be added as this is the optimal time to do so. Ultimately, the other ambulances will need the same, but we will have to wait for
funding.
