The Emmet-Chalmers Fire Protection District is a volunteer fire department with 17 firefighters and 5 trucks in MABAS division 55 near Macomb IL. http://www.ecfpd.org
From the station on West Adams Road the department covers an area west of the city of Macomb, Illinois. Our district is mostly rural but does include homes and subdivisions as well as businesses along US Highway 136 and 67. Upon completion of the 336 bypass currently under construction in the district we will cover portions of three busy highways and a railway. The department responds to fire calls, carbon monoxide alarms, and traffic accidents. We also assist hospital paramedics on medical calls and provide mutual aid to other area fire departments.
Volunteers Needed!
We are always looking for additional volunteers for our department. All calls provide a wide range of roles to fill and tasks to complete. From driving and operating the engines to interior firefighting, even manning the station to assist on calls, everyone is important and an equal part of the team. Whether you are an upstanding citizen with no fire or emergency experience or you have just moved to this area from another department and have years of experience, we can use your help.
If you are interested in volunteering with us please come to the firehouse on the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm for the business meeting or the third or fourth Tuesday at 5:45pm for training. If you have questions about requirements or other ways you can help, please email our Chief at [email protected]. Please feel free to stop by and check us out! Give back to your community. We can use all the good help we can get!
