About Us
|
The
North Palos Fire Protection District is a
separate government body, with 3 Trustees
and a Fire Chief. We maintain three fire
stations that serve the community in firefighting,
advanced life support (paramedic service),
hazardous materials and technical rescue
specialty teams. In 57 years of service to
the community, the District has grown by
expanding programs and services. The District
protects the communities of Palos Hills,
Worth, a portion of Hickory Hills and a large
area of the Cook County Forest Preserve;
totaling a 15.5 square mile area and a population
approaching 35,000 people. We anticipate
responding to over 5000 emergency calls this
year.
The daily staffing of sixteen personnel each day is the
same every day of the year! A Battalion Chief oversees
the three stations and their daily operations. Each Station
is staffed by: 1 Lieutenant, 1 Engineer, 2 Paramedic/Firefighters,
1 Part-Time Firefighter. Each station has a Paramedic Ambulance
and Fire Apparatus which respond together on emergency
calls.
| The
District is a member of Division 21
M.A.B.A.S. (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System)
which consists of 63 Division’s
encompassing over 1000 fire departments
throughout the State of Illinois. |

Safety Tips
|
Babysitters
should know the family's name, address
of the home and how to contact the
parents.
Babysitters should have the numbers for the Police & Fire
departments and at least one number of a nearby neighbor
that the family trusts.
Never leave a child unattended in a bathtub.
Always test the water temperature before putting
young children in the water.
Never set the water temperature on a water heater
any higher than 120 degrees.
If the babysitter is unsure about something going
on in or around the house, call 911.
As a reminder, we ask all residents to check your
smoke detector for proper operation. We have had
two house fires recently in which their smoke detectors
were NOT working due to dead batteries. |
