Over the past few weeks, several local fire departments threw open their doors to host community events filled with fire safety demos, interactive exhibits, firefighting equipment showcases, fun activities, food, and more. It was a great opportunity for families to learn about fire safety and get up close with their local first responders. I’ve got some highlights and photos from these events below.
First off, the Mundelein Fire Department held an open house where they showcased their new 2012 Ford Medtec ambulance, replacing their older unit 432. They also demonstrated vehicle extrications and had their antique fire engine on display. Here are some photos from the event:

It’s always inspiring to see how fire departments connect with their communities. These events not only educate the public but also strengthen the bond between residents and their local heroes. I’m grateful to everyone who shared their photos and experiences with me. If you missed out on these events, don’t worry—many departments plan similar gatherings throughout the year. Stay tuned for future opportunities to engage with your local fire services!
