Excerpts from Rosemont.com:
The Rosemont Public Safety Department held a ceremony this past week officially donating a fire engine to a volunteer fire department in Michoacan, Mexico (H. Cuerpo De Bomberos Voluntarios Rescate y Salvamento de Michoacan IAP). Mayor Brad Stephens, Public Safety Director William Anderson, and Public Safety Command Staff were all on hand for the ceremony that took place at Rosemont Fire Station 1. Also in attendance was Deputy Consul General Gerardo Guerrero Gomez from the Mexican Consul of Chicago, Imelda Hernandez Zuniga from the Michoacan, Mexico Health Department, members from the volunteer fire department, and members from the community.
The donation has been in the works for a number of years, however, due to COVID, the donation was delayed. We have worked with the Mexican Consul and members of the community in Mexico on this donation due in part because a large population of Rosemont residents grew up in and still have family from this area of Michoacan, Mexico.
After the ceremony, the fire engine was taken by members of the volunteer fire department and will be stored in Illinois until paperwork at the United States / Mexico border is finalized. Once complete, the fire engine will be delivered to its final location in Mexico via a flatbed truck. Currently, the volunteer fire department does not have a fire engine. They utilize a pickup truck with a water tank along with the simple method of water buckets to put out a fire.
It is an honor and pleasure to see this fire engine continue to serve a community in need. While the Rosemont Public Safety Department may no longer have a use for this fire engine, it is still in great condition and has many more useful years left. We hope that this can help protect the community in Michoacan, Mexico as much as it has for us throughout the years.
thanks Dennis

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
Two people were injured when a car crashed into the creek in Rosemont Tuesday evening. Rosemont police officers responded to a 911 call shortly after 5:45 p.m. about a car in the creek near River Road and Glenlake Avenue. Two adults were found inside the vehicle. They were extricated and secured to backboards before being lifted from the embankment to street level and were taken to a local hospital.

9737 Farragut. This is I believe technically Chicago, but Rosemont arrived initially. Seemed to be an auto fire inside a repair business. Chicago units were initially returned but then responded back to the scene.

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Donald E. Stephens II, who served the village of Rosemont for more than 43 years, including as its public safety superintendent, died Saturday morning at the age of 63, after a lengthy illness.
Stephens, son of founding Rosemont Mayor Donald E. Stephens, began working for the village in 1971, and was instrumental in the opening of the Rosemont Horizon, now known as the Allstate Arena, as well as the village’s convention center and other municipal buildings and projects. Besides serving as public safety superintendent, he had a short stint as deputy mayor in the late 1980s under his father.
Stephens received the Rosemont Public Safety Department’s Life Saving Medal and Medal of Merit in 1979. He also was one of the charter members of the department’s K9 unit and served as a police dog handler for several years.
The third superintendent of public safety in the village’s history, Stephens retired in 2014, but remained active within the department as the chairman of the Police and Fire Commission.
He is survived by his wife, Kathy, son — and successor as superintendent — Donald E. Stephens III, son, Christopher, and daughter, Brittany. He is also survived by four grandchildren, his mother, two brothers and one sister. Village of Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens is his younger brother.
Services will be held Tuesday morning at Our Lady of Hope Church in Rosemont. Time is not yet determined.
