Bloomingdale Fire Protection District No. 1, part of MABAS Division 12, recently joined our website. This district operates three fire stations, though one is solely used for storage purposes. Station 2, located at 6N480 Keeney Road (with a Roselle address), was initially part of the Keeneyville Fire District. This station houses two spare engines and an out-of-service ambulance, which could potentially be transformed into a dive unit.
Station 1, which also serves as the headquarters for the Bloomingdale Fire Department, features its own dispatch center located in the basement. This dispatch center not only handles calls for Bloomingdale but also supports the Elk Grove Township Fire Protection District and the Itasca Fire Protection District.
The Bloomingdale Fire Protection District runs a modern fleet of vehicles, primarily consisting of Pierce apparatus. Their fleet includes a tower ladder and three engines mounted on a Lance chassis, one engine on an Enforcer chassis, and another on a Quantum chassis. Additionally, they have ordered a 2,000-gallon pumper/tanker on a Velocity chassis, expected to arrive this year. Both operational ambulances and the Dive Squad are equipped with boxes manufactured by Horton.
One of the newer additions to their fleet is Engine 1, a 2005 Pierce Quantum, which became the latest engine assigned to Station 1. Before switching to Pierce, Bloomingdale maintained a long-standing relationship with Pirsch, purchasing exclusively from them for many years. In 1981, they acquired the final engine built on a custom Pirsch chassis, complementing two other engines and a 1972 mid-ship quint measuring 85 feet.
That same year, Bloomingdale Engine 2 showcased the last custom cab crafted by hand at the Pirsch factory in Kenosha. Following this model, Pirsch began sourcing standard cabs from Truck Cab Manufacturers (TCM) and applying a trim package to maintain a distinct appearance. Bloomingdale Truck 4, constructed in 1972, matched one of the existing Pirsch engines in the fleet, featuring edge warning lights. Eventually, they expanded their collection to include four identical custom Pirsch units.
These historical pieces reflect the evolution of firefighting equipment over the decades, highlighting both tradition and innovation within the Bloomingdale Fire Protection District. As the district continues to grow, so does its commitment to providing top-notch service and maintaining cutting-edge resources for its community.
