Thank you to Northwestern University on the generous donation of our latest piece of Fire Apparatus. Although there will be time to add equipment, hose, computer, and other necessary equipment which will take about a month, the new Engine 23 should be in service sometime in October at Fire Station 3, 1105 Central Street. (The rig did go into service that October.)

Evanston Fire Department was established by ordinance in 1875, for which the men and women who serve and have served, have since been protecting lives and property to the City of Evanston for 135 years.

The Fireman's Park Rededication Ceremony was held on Thursday, July 22, 2010. Local 742 would like to extend our heart felt gratitude to all those who came to help us rededicate this special park. Thanks to the supporters, the neighbors, the local members who worked countless hours, those who purchased bricks and benches, those who came to the ceremony from other Local's and the AFFI Honor Guard, Evanston Honor Guard, Evanston Police Department Honor Guard, all of our distinguished guests and speakers, Interim Chief Greg Klaiber, and all who came to honor those who have selflessly sacrificed their lives in the Line of Duty and our fallen comrades' that have served the Evanston Fire Department. It was a wonderful tribute, and we hope the neighborhood enjoys the park for years to come.

Although "Friends of Firemen’s Park" is now completed, your opportunity to purchase bricks for the park has not run out. Orders are still being taken.
Your name or loved one will be deeply engraved into a brick and will
permanently be displayed at Firemen’s Park, located at Simpson and Maple.
What a way to leave a lasting impression.

All Proceeds will used to maintain Firemen’s Park

Evanston Firefighters Local 742 and the Evanston Fire Department would like to thank all of our officials who attended the 2009 Fire Ops 101. We hope you gained a valuable insight to what we do, and why the funding for day to day operations is so vital to providing life safety services to the citizens of Evanston. Thank you to all of the Local 742 Members who attended to help organize, especially the hard work of Brother Tim Gobat. This was a great event.
