Beach Park Fire Department

Congratulations Jenna, Sara, and Nicole on your newest achievement: graduating from the Northwest Lake County Fire Academy! These women spent the past 5 months completing 290 hours of classroom and live fire evolution trainings, along with additional hours training at the department to accomplish this goal. We are proud to have you as our newest firefighters!

Congratulations!

It’s that time of year again! Let’s turn our clocks back an hour, and replace our smoke detector batteries!

This past weekend, the Pink Heals IL chapter paid a visit to our city with their pink engine “Diane”. Pink Heals stopped by a local resident who shared her journey of battling cancer, and our crew decided to join in on the fun!

This organization helps fund raise and sell merchandise to help give back to the community and raise awareness. But don’t let their pink engine fool you! It is used to help represent love, awareness, and support for those individuals and families battling any type of cancer.

If you would like to more information about the Pink Heals and all they do to give back, visit them here:

We had a smoke trailer where kids and parents were able to learn about fire safety and escape plans along with an obstacle course designed to give kids an idea of how we work.
