We are proud of our stations and equipment and love to show them off. We have 3 fire stations located throughout the district.
Station tours are available to community groups. To schedule a station tour, please contact our public educations office, 708-352-9229, ext: 2401, or email Jon Nepil our Public Education Director at [email protected] to schedule your tour. Walk-in tours are available for individuals, but please remember that these men are on duty and may be out on an emergency, inspection or training. Also, they may have to shorten your tour due to training or other activities.
Group Station Tours
Groups of 3 or more children must be accompanied by an adult. The adult to children ratio should be 1 to 5 for ages 3-8; 1 to 7 for ages 8-12. This is for the safety of the children. Station tours last about 30 to 60 minutes. Children will be shown around the firehouse, the fire vehicles, and given a short safety talk.
