Fire Department
Last updated: Public Relations Specialist |
The Downers Grove Fire Department has maintained a Class 1 Public Protection Certification (ISO 1) by the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) since 2015.
Our team is made up of professionals dedicated to creating a safe environment for the residents, guests and employees of Downers Grove community. The primary responsibility of the Fire Department is the preservation of life and property through around the clock service from four fire stations. In addition to fire services, the department provides complete ALS (advanced life support) emergency medical services.
The Fire Department fire engines, ladder truck and ambulances are dispatched according to the nature of the call. The closest unit will be sent to ensure that help arrives as soon as possible.
