The Park Ridge Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1898 to provide fire protection to the Borough of Park Ridge. Today the Department still provides that very same service, however, we have evolved with the times responding not only to fires but to vehicle extrications, elevator rescues, and all other types of emergencies within the Borough. We are currently staffed by over forty volunteers who give freely over their time to train and respond to these emergencies. In addition to training and responding our volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization, serving as primary caretakers for the building, apparatus and equipment that allow us to our jobs.
