Oct. 1, 2019 - Oak Parkers young, old and in between with an interest in modern firefighting and emergency medical services should mark their calendars for Saturday, October 5. That’s when the Oak Park Fire Department will open its doors to the public for an open house.
The event, held in conjunction with national Fire Safety Week, is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Central Fire Station, 100 N. Euclid Ave.
Visitors will be able to get up close to the equipment and talk to the firefighter/paramedics who help keep the community safe.
In addition to touching all of 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, refreshments and fun handouts.
Always on call, the Fire Department maintains three shifts of more than 20 trained professionals ready to provide around-the-clock protection to residents.

In fact, about 65 percent of calls to the Fire Department are for medical emergencies.
In 2018, Oak Park’s firefighter/paramedics responded to more than 7,200 calls for fire and emergency medical services. They had another 5,100-plus citizen contacts related to public safety education, including CPR classes and visits to local schools.
