Emergency Response

Our Emergency Response staff consists of a combination of full-time and part-time firefighter/paramedics. These firefighters/paramedics are on duty 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The Long Grove Fire Protection District station is located at 1165 Old McHenry Road in Long Grove, Illinois.  Our District covers approximately 12.5 square miles and 10,000 residents. In addition to residential homes, our district provides services to one public elementary school, three private elementary schools, two nursing homes, two assisted living facilities, a large corporate office complex, religious institutions, four country clubs, industrial and warehouse buildings, and various unique retail establishments. The area covered includes portions of five different villages (Deer Park, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Lincolnshire, and Long Grove), three different townships (Ela, Palatine, and Vernon), and two counties (Lake and Cook).

Our district is unique because of its vast differentials in water supply. In the Lake County areas, our water supply is made up of a combination of dry (drafting) hydrants, limited private water systems, and a small public water system. In Cook County, areas are connected to municipal water. These differentials require a diverse fleet of fire apparatus and make our staff members well-versed in supplying water for firefighting. 

We respond to all types of emergencies including:

• Fires and alarms
• Medical Emergency incidents
• Hazardous material incidents
• Water rescues

In addition to emergencies, our staff also performs service calls like home lockouts and problems with smoke detectors.
