𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗠: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦

Imagine firefighters responding to a fire in Springfield.

They can see the building.

But getting to it is another matter.

A gate is locked.

Cars are blocking the best apparatus position.

A hydrant is hidden behind landscaping.

Construction changed the normal entrance.

When your house or business is on fire, minutes suddenly matter.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲.

Can firefighters clearly see the address?

Can they reach the building?

Is the fire hydrant accessible?

Could an aerial apparatus get where it needs to go?

Firefighters can't fix an access problem until they encounter it. You can fix many of them today.

👻 NEW ROBERTS PARK FIRE SUPPORTER APPAREL IS HERE! 🚒
The Roberts Park Firefighters Association is excited to launch our newest supporter apparel — featuring a little bit of local history, local legend, and a great cause.
If you’re from the area, chances are you’ve heard the story of Resurrection Mary.
For generations, the legend has told of a mysterious young woman in white who appears along Archer Avenue, sometimes accepting rides from passing motorists before suddenly disappearing near the gates of Resurrection Cemetery. The story has become one of Chicagoland’s best-known ghost legends — and it happens to take place right in our backyard.
Roberts Park Station 2, home of Engine 302, sits directly across Archer Avenue from Resurrection Cemetery.
So when it came time to create a new Roberts Park supporter design, we decided to have a little fun with our famous neighbor across the street.
It looks like this time, Engine 302 stopped to give Mary a ride. 👻🚒
Even better, this design supports a cause that means a lot to us. Proceeds from every purchase will benefit Project Fire Buddies and the incredible work they do supporting children battling serious illnesses and their families.
The new Roberts Park Fire Supporter design is available on:
👕 Short sleeve T-shirts
👕 Long sleeve T-shirts
🧥 Crewnecks
🧥 Hoodies
🧒 Youth sizes coming soon!
🎃 Spooky season is right around the corner — order yours now to have it in time for Halloween!
Ordering is open through the Roberts Park Fire Supporter webstore at Uniforms Direct. Scan the QR code on the flyer or follow the instructions below to order.
Show your support for your local firefighters, wear a little piece of local legend, and help us support the awesome work of Project Fire Buddies.
Support local. Wear the legend. Help a Fire Buddy. ❤️
