Rescue and Specialized Services
As part of their resources, the Department maintains
specialized teams capable of providing emergency assistance in
unusual situations. Because of an increasing number of
situations, a Hazardous Materials team was organized inside
the Department in 1988. Highly trained specialists
comprise this group, which is capable of supporting emergency
operations in many situations that involve hazardous or toxic
substances. The Haz-Mat team now consists of 13 members
and the most up-to-date equipment. In 1998, a Specialized Rescue and Confined
Space Team was formed to provide additional capabilities in
challenging rescue situations. Presently, the department
has ten specially trained members that provide support to the
Department operation. We are very proud of the fire
department's incident investigators team and currently have
nine highly trained members that are certified by the State
Fire Marshall. Our public education committee members
have been teaching life safety throughout the Village and
schools for over 20 years. Our school program, that is
taught to kindergarten through sixth grade by the department's
firefighter/paramedics, has been highly successful and is
considered to be one of the finest programs in the northwest
suburbs.
