It replaces Station 81’s old facility on Dundee Rd. with one better located to serve our residents in the northwestern section of Palatine, as well as one that can more efficiently meet the needs of 21st-century fire and rescue operations. We moved into this station and began responding to calls from this location on May 2, 2011.
The new Station 81 is staffed by three personnel: a Lieutenant and two firefighter-paramedics. Depending on the nature of the call, they operate either the quint or the ambulance. Additional support vehicles are dispatched from other nearby stations when needed. In addition to the Quint and Ambulance 81, the station also houses the Reserve Squad and a Reserve Command vehicle.
