Originally founded as a volunteer fire department in 1885, The Frankfort Fire Protection District was formed in 1962.

The district format allowed for increased funding which lead to the ability to provide Fire, EMS, and other services. The District serves a residential population of approximately 45,000 people, and covers 42 square miles. The District is a full time career department that staffs five fire stations. In Addition to Fire and Advanced Life Support EMS services, The District responds to Hazardous Materials Spills, Technical Rescue incidents such as confined space, and has a Water Rescue/Dive team. Portions of the Village of Frankfort, Frankfort Township, Green Garden Township and a
portion of the Village of Mokena are contained within the district. The Frankfort Fire Protection District is a taxing governmental agency separate
from the Village of Frankfort.

ADDRESSING CRITICAL NEEDS
When you call 911, you count on FFPD to be ready. But growing demands, staffing challenges and aging equipment are putting pressure on emergency services.

In one week, voters will decide on our Nov. 3 ballot proposal. The proposal would provide funding to help address these critical needs:

✅ Add needed firefighter/paramedics
✅ Replace aging vehicles and equipment
✅ Update life-saving medical equipment
✅ Keep pace with rising emergency service costs

This is about the future of emergency services in our community. Watch our video to understand the needs and be informed before you vote on Nov. 3.

WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS, OUR RESPONDERS NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS.
Our medical technology and emergency equipment are aging—and the need to keep them current is becoming more urgent.

Firefighter/paramedics respond to some of the most critical moments a family can face: medical emergencies, fires, rescues, and other life-threatening situations. Their training and experience are essential, but so are the life-saving tools they rely on.

If approved by voters, the Nov. 3 ballot proposal will provide funding to replace or update critically needed emergency equipment and technology.

Because when a loved one needs help, our community should be able to count on highly trained responders with modern, reliable equipment—ready to make every second count. ❤️

Frankfort Fire is planning for what it will take to maintain reliable emergency response as our community’s needs continue to grow. Voters will consider an operating tax rate proposal on Nov. 3. This plan addresses critical needs and would increase the district’s limiting tax rate by 32.5-cents, resulting in an approximately $9.90 increase a week for the owner of a $500,000 home.

It’s a long-term responsible financial plan designed to support the District’s commitment to safety and emergency care.
