When a member of the community pulls up during morning checks and asks for help, ‘turkey vulture’ is not typically on our bingo card.

Thankful that Artie and his unexpected passenger are both ok!

We’re taking “no two shifts are the same” to new heights this morning. 🦅

How is your Friday going?

🚑 GRANT AWARDED! 🚑
The Beecher Fire Protection District is proud to announce that we have been awarded $26,000 through the Illinois State Fire Marshal Small Equipment Grant Program to assist with the replacement of our ambulance Power Cots and Power-LOAD Systems.

This funding will help offset the significant cost of replacing critical patient transport equipment that has served our community for more than a decade. Historically, when a new ambulance was placed into service, the existing cot and loading system were transferred from the ambulance being retired to the new unit. As a result, our current systems are now over 10 years old, and the cost of maintaining and repairing them continues to increase.

The total cost to replace two Power Cots and two Power-Load Systems is approximately $190,000. This grant is an important investment in both patient care and firefighter/paramedic safety.

These advanced systems provide numerous benefits, including:

Zero-Lift Loading – Hydraulically lifts and guides the cot into and out of the ambulance, eliminating heavy lifting and reducing cumulative trauma injuries.

Improved Employee Safety – Studies have shown these systems can reduce the risk of low-back injuries by as much as 35% while significantly decreasing physical strain on emergency responders.

Enhanced Patient Safety – Continuous support of the cot during loading and unloading helps reduce the risk of patient drops and other adverse events.

Crash-Tested Protection – Meets dynamic crash-testing standards to enhance occupant safety in the event of a vehicle collision.

Reliable Operation – Features wireless charging capabilities and manual backup systems to ensure safe operation even during power loss or battery failure.

Investing in modern EMS equipment helps ensure our paramedics can continue providing the highest level of care while reducing the risk of injury to those who serve our community every day.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal for supporting local fire departments through the Small Equipment Grant Program and helping us continue our mission of protecting lives and property.

🚨 THAT’S A WRAP 🚨

2025-2026 Learn Not to Burn Program at BES

6 whole months with our closest friends were spent conquering tough topics like:

🔥 Smoke alarms- what they do, what they mean, where they should be, testing, replacing, and
even how they work
🔥 Sleeping with our bedroom door closed
🔥 Home exit maps and strategies
🔥 Family meeting places outside of our home
🔥 How to unlock a smart phone to call 911
🔥 Calling 911- what is an emergency and what isn't
🔥 Knowing our home address- numerics, street name, village, and state
🔥 Cooking and kitchen safety- staying away from things that are hot
🔥 Electrical safety- charging devices, tablets, and more
🔥 Stop, drop, and roll
🔥 Firefighters are our friends and community helpers

We had a blast. Thank you to every educator in this group, for letting us take over your classroom and bring in our circus.

Every fireman and paramedic started out in a classroom- PLEASE. Thank a teacher.

See you next session!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our Administrative Assistant, Angie Koehne!

Thank you for the dedication, professionalism, and care you bring to our organization each and every day. Your work behind the scenes keeps everything running smoothly, and it does not go unnoticed.

The Beecher Fire Protection District partners with a third-party vendor, EMS Management & Consultants (EMS-MC), to manage all ambulance billing services. EMS-MC is a nationally recognized medical billing provider with offices across the country. The regional office that services the Beecher Fire Protection District is located in Wheeling, Illinois; therefore, billing statements will reflect a Wheeling, IL return address.

This approach allows the District to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and full compliance with the complex and ever-evolving regulations governing medical and insurance billing. The handling and release of protected health information are subject to strict federal and state laws, and EMS-MC specializes in maintaining compliance while safeguarding patient information. It is standard practice for fire departments and fire protection districts nationwide to utilize professional billing services for these reasons.

If you were recently transported by the Beecher Fire Protection District and received a form similar to the one referenced, there is no need for concern. The document does not represent a bill requiring immediate payment. Instead, it indicates that EMS-MC does not yet have your insurance information on file. To assist in processing your claim, you may either submit your insurance details online at www.emsbilling.com/patient or complete the form on the reverse side and return it using the provided address.

If you have any questions regarding this process or the services we provide, please do not hesitate to contact our Administrative Assistant, Angie Koehne, at (708) 946-6585 ext. 4001. You are also welcome to visit our administrative office, where a member of our staff will be happy to assist you. We remain committed to supporting you in any way we can.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

This is the start- and there’s work to do. We would like to take a moment and highlight that our Fire Chief, Joe Falaschetti, was the driving force behind this movement to create a safer intersection, and his tireless effort does not go unnoticed.

Stay safe, Beecher.
