​​​Twenty-four hours a day the York Center Fire Protection District provides fire suppression and protection to its residents and neighboring communities. Each day there are seven Firefighters/Paramedics who provide service, three of which staff the Engine, two staff the Heavy Rescue Squad and two staff the ambulance.​
​

SPECIALTY teams

Most of our Firefighters work on specialized teams. These teams meet and train monthly, preparing for different kinds of emergencies. Emergencies can include: explosions, toxic spills, rescue off high structures, ice and water rescue, extricating victims from entrapment and fire investigation.

ems

Our ambulance responds to all emergency medical calls and most fire calls. The ambulance is staffed twenty-four hours a day by two Paramedics. All of the Paramedics employed by the District are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Monthly, our Paramedics train to maintain their skills and further their education. 
​

TRAINING

Training is done in house as well as with neighboring departments. EMS and Firefighting require continuous education and there are required trainings that need to be completed each year. Training can be in a classroom and/or hands on like vehicle extrication and live fire drills.
