Welcome

The Beach Park Fire Department is located in the far Northeast portion of Illinois. We are responsible for providing fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services to a district of approximately 10 square miles that encompasses the majority of The Village of Beach Park and some of the immediate unincorporated area surrounding the Village of Beach Park. We proudly serve approximately 15,000 residents as well as daily commuter traffic between Wisconsin and the Chicago area. During the warmer months the population swells considerably with a large volume of visitors to The Illinois Beach State Park.

We are a combination department with both full time and part time employees supplemented by paid-on-call Firefighter-Paramedics. Full time employees are represented by the International Association of Firefighters, IAFF Local 4806. All members must attain a minimum of a State of Illinois certification of Firefighter II, and EMT-B level Emergency Medical Service certification. Full time members are required to be a paramedic, EMT-P. Our personnel must also maintain a high level of continuing fire and EMS education along with ongoing specialized team training. We are a member of the Lake and McHenry Counties Specialized Response teams. Our department responds to over 1250 calls for service per year.

Big Thanks from BPFD

BPFD would like to thank a very generous resident that donated 50 N95 masks this week!

BPFD & COVID-19

 March 17, 2020

With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, we would like to inform you that our department will not be accepting any outside food donations. Instead, we encourage those in the community to check on family, neighbors, and elderly folks around you. Taking care of one another by ensuring others are receiving any help or food they need, is extremely important. Let’s all make light of this situation by spreading acts of kindness, coming together as a community!

We would also like to inform you that we will be closing our front doors to the public, but remain in service to respond to calls. If you arrive at one of our stations and are having an emergency, please pick up the red phone to connect with our dispatchers.

As always, call 911 if you are having an emergency.

New Zoll Monitors

 January 24, 2020

The Beach Park Fire Department would like to introduce to you the newest equipment on our ambulances! Our department was able to purchase two Zoll X-series cardiac monitors with a grant awarded by FEMA/DHS worth $74,500. On every ambulance call, our cardiac monitors are used to help our crews obtain vital signs such as: heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximetry levels, carbon monoxide levels, and cardiac rhythms. The current cardiac monitors on the front lines have done an excellent job aiding in the care of our patients for the last 10+ years, but had their limitations. With these new monitors, personnel will be able to detect and treat acute cardiac issues more quickly, efficiently, effectively to help improve the quality of care to our patients. In cardiac specific emergencies,  studies reveal that every second counts and rapid intervention is crucial to a more positive outcome. We are now able to transmit the data and rhythms we see in patients out in the field to receiving hospitals, which helps emergency room personnel gain a better insight to the conditions at hand. We are excited to be able to provide a standard of service that our community members and visitors deserve!
