Emergency Response

Our Emergency Response staff consists of a combination of full time and part-time firefighter/paramedics. These firefighter/paramedics are on a rotating schedule of 24 hours on duty / 48 hours off.

Long Grove Fire Protection District is located at 1165 Old McHenry Rd Long Grove IL, 60047. Our District covers approximately 14 square miles and 12,000 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, several religious institutions, four country clubs, 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. The Cook County side is connected to city water. These differentials require a diverse fleet of fire apparatus and make our staff members well-versed in many different types of engineering.

Our staff responds to all types of emergencies including:

• Fires and alarms

• Emergency medical incidents

• Hazardous material incidents

• Water rescues

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