Fire Department Programs
Fire Prevention Bureau
The Fire Prevention Bureau conducts inspections of all businesses as well as educational facilities. Every business in the community is inspected at least once, many more often depending on the type of business. In addition to inspections, the Bureau provides safety seminars for local businesses as well as fire extinguisher demonstrations.
Emergency Medical Services
The Fire Department provides Advanced Life Support care to the residents of Carpentersville and certain surrounding rural areas. The department responds to over 2000 medical calls for service each year.
Public Education
Each year, the department increases the programs offered by the Public Education Division. Each year, the department provides classes in various areas in order to teach fire safety to people of all ages.
Seniors Program
Over the last 10 years, fire deaths in which seniors were involved Statewide have increased. Classes are provided and designed to address the special needs of seniors.
Keep the Wreath Red Program
Each year, during the Christmas season, area fire departments place a wreath outside the station decorated with red bulbs. If a fire should occur during the Christmas season, and it was caused by Christmas decorations, a bulb will be changed to white.
Fire Station Tours
Each station offers tours of the station and equipment to interested groups or individuals.
Counseling Programs
Offered by the Department to residents with a child who may have an overly curious attitude about fires.
Fire Suppression
In addition to fire suppression (fire fighting), the Department is trained in below grade rescue, confined space rescue, water rescue/recovery, auto extrication, and high angle rescue.
Emergency Services and Disaster
The Emergency Services and Disaster Agency is handled by the Fire Department. The main goal is to prepare the Village for any natural disaster that may occur. This includes checking the civil defense sirens throughout the community monthly, as well as providing updates to the Disaster Preparedness Plan, which has been developed by the Village and adopted by the Board of Trustees.
