While talks are still underway to explore the possibility of merging fire services between Carpentersville and West Dundee, officials on both sides seem pretty enthusiastic about keeping things moving ahead. In fact, the West Dundee board recently gave the green light for their staff to start drafting a request for proposal. This will help them figure out how much it might cost to conduct a thorough study on consolidation.

According to West Dundee Village President Chris Nelson, bringing in an external expert could really help everyone involved better understand the complexities of this situation. And it looks like the scope of potential collaboration is expanding too—both the East Dundee Fire District and Rutland-Dundee Township Fire Protection District have expressed interest in joining forces. At the moment, they're focusing on creating a setup where each district remains independent but works closely together when it comes to handling emergencies and buying equipment.

West Dundee Fire Chief Randy Freise mentioned that Carpentersville has already committed to providing battalion chief support for all structural fires, vehicle accidents requiring extrication, and major incidents at places like Spring Hill Mall. Plus, Chief Freise is planning to sit down soon with East Dundee Fire Chief Steve Schmitendorf and Carpentersville Deputy Chief John Skillman to talk about possibly sharing a training officer. As Nelson pointed out, maintaining uniform training standards isn’t just cost-effective; it also strengthens teamwork among firefighters.

“We want to make sure our firefighting efforts improve while staying within budget,” Nelson emphasized. “This is a win-win situation for us and the communities we serve. We’re making good headway here.”
