EMMET-CHALMERS FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
The Emmet-Chalmers Fire Protection District is a volunteer fire department with 18 firefighters and 5 trucks in MABAS division 55.
From the station on West Adams Road the department covers an area west of the city of Macomb, Illinois, home of Western Illinois University. 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 as well as all other emergency calls. We also assist McDonough District Hospital paramedics on medical calls and provide mutual aid and auto-aid to other area fire departments.
The firefighters meet at several times each month. Check out our calendar for the latest updates on our schedule.
If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact us.
