Clarendon Hills officials have begun looking into the possibility of moving the village’s fire station to a joint public safety, public works campus.
If it happens, the existing fire station at 316 Park Avenue would move to the area where the police department, 448 Park Avenue, and Public Works Department, 452 Park Avenue, are now located. The land on which the current fire department is located could then be available for development, said Village Manager Zach Creer.
“The fire station was identified as a building that does not have enough space due to changes in the fire service since it was built, including having female firefighters and the additional duties such as hazmat response that are now expected of our firefighters and require specialty equipment,” he said.
Paul Dalen, Clarendon Hills’ retired police chief who now is public safety director, said he believes having the police and fire departments on the same campus would help to facilitate training, such as CPR certification, rescue task force training, and more.Dalen said another advantage would be cost-saving measures, such as sharing office staff or training facilities.
