Evanston Fire Department Official page of the Evanston Fire Department. Social Media Policy: https://bit.ly/47kKYxc We have five fire stations located throughout the City.

Our goal is to prevent fires and life-loss through the finest in fire protection, rescue, emergency medical services, and fire prevention services. The fire stations are staffed 24 hours a day/365 days a year. These stations house five fire engines, two ladder trucks, two ambulances, and a Command Vehicle. We have two reserve fire engines, one reserve ladder truck, and a reserve ambulance. The majority of our members are certified paramedics in addition to being firefighters. Besides staffing two Advanced Life-Support Ambulances, every engine and ladder truck company is equipped with Advanced Life-Support equipment. This means as soon as an engine or ladder truck arrives, it can begin life-saving treatment even before the ambulance arrives. Through the overall efforts of the City to support Fire and Life Safety Services, property owners enjoy insurance premium benefits of an Insurance Services Office (ISO) fire protection "Class 1” rating.

Evanston Fire Department would like to thank Dr. DuCanto and his respiratory specialist team for an outstanding airway management training!

Firefighters and EMS providers from multiple agencies came together to sharpen their intubation skills, practice the SALAD method, and learn valuable tools, tricks, and best practices for managing difficult and contaminated airways.

Hands-on training like this helps strengthen skills, build confidence, and ultimately improve patient care when seconds matter.

Thank you to Dr. Ducanto and his team for sharing their expertise and helping our providers continue to raise the standard of care. We appreciate your time, knowledge, and commitment to EMS education! đź‘Źđźš‘
