Sad to hear about the passing of Emergency actor Randolph Mantooth aka FF/PM Johnny Gage. The show was instrumental in the development of the paramedic program across the nation. He was a great ambassador to EMS and the Fire Service!

Rest In Peace!

As the sun cranks up the heat, crews are hitting the training grounds at the crack of dawn to outsmart the sizzling temperatures. This morning, they were all about the clock, tackling the timed NFPA 1410 drill and the speedy Paxton drill.
NFPA 1410 is the go-to guide for getting fire companies off to a blazing start. The drill cranks up the pressure, challenging firefighters to sprint with hoses and make speedy connections to fire hydrants.
The Paxton drill is all about ladder magic! It tests ladder companies on their skills to launch ground ladders for rescues. Inspired by the Paxton Hotel fire in Chicago, where CFD swooped in like heroes to sn**ch a bunch of stranded hotel guests from their window perches. Talk about a daring rescue mission!

Rest in Peace Cheryl! You helped a lot of us with our education and certification in EMS. Your commitment and passion made us better EMT’s & Paramedics. You will be missed!

It is with deep regret that we report the passing of retired EMS coordinator Cheryl Hansen following a brief illness. Cheryl devoted her life to the fire service and emergency medical services. She served as a firefighter paramedic with the Clarendon Heights FPD, a paramedic and EMS coordinator with Tri-State FPD before coming to Plainfield FPD as our EMS coordinator. Cheryl continued her passion in the fire service by serving as a Fire Commissioner with Tri-State FPD until her passing.
Services are pending, and more information will be shared at a later time.
