Technical Rescue

The Riverdale Fire Department responds to over 3100 calls for service each year, with approximately 800 calls being fire related. Department personnel train constantly to mitigate structure fires, vehicle fires and many other fire emergencies. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and modern fire apparatus, the fire department works diligently in its efforts to reduce fire-related injury and property loss.

These personnel are also members of the Grey C.A.R.T. Team, which is one of only a few state-recognized response teams that can be deployed both within the North Shore or anywhere throughout the State of Illinois. The Grey C.A.R.T. team’s equipment inventory ranges from high tech rappelling gear to hydraulic and air shoring systems which are deployed within the team’s rescue squad.
