Fire Department Open House
Oak Parkers of all ages with an interest in modern firefighting and emergency medical services should mark their calendars for Saturday, Oct. 4.
That’s when the Oak Park Fire Department will open its doors to the public for its annual open house.
The event, held in conjunction with Fire Safety Month, is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Central Fire Station, 100 N. Euclid Ave.
In addition to touching the cool equipment essential to the mission of a modern fire department, the event also will include tours of the fire house, presentations about safety and fun handouts.
To help supply local community blood centers, a Vitalant blood drive will be held onsite from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Click here to register for the blood drive.
Always on call, the Fire Department maintains three shifts of 22 trained professionals ready to provide around-the-clock protection to residents. All Village firefighters are also paramedics, since delivering emergency medical services is an integral part of the Fire Department mission. In fact, about 60% of calls to the Fire Department are for medical emergencies. In 2024, Oak Park’s firefighter/paramedics responded to more than 8,900 calls for fire and emergency medical services.
