Pleasantview Fire Protection District

Last Friday, Pleasantview E152 and M151 rolled over to the Pleasantdale Park District’s summer camp for a hands-on Touch-a-Truck day.

From letting the kids explore the rig and testing out the sirens to showing off our gear, we love getting the chance to connect with our future firefighters.

Thank you to the staff and campers at Pleasantdale Park District for the warm welcome, the great questions, and all the high-fives!

Last Saturday, Pleasantview Fire Protection District, Mabas 10 and regional emergency responders met in Lyons for a specialized Hazardous Materials (HazMat) training drill.

Saturdays focus was responding to potential ammonia emergencies. Anhydrous ammonia is commonly used in commercial refrigeration and industrial applications, and incidents involving it require a highly technical, coordinated response.

Drills like this allow our firefighters and HazMat technicians to practice:
✅ Proper deployment of chemical protective suits and monitoring equipment.
✅ Advanced containment, leak control, and mitigation strategies.
✅ Seamless communication and incident command with our neighboring departments.

We are committed to keeping our skills sharp and our communities safe. Thank you to Lyons for hosting and mutual aid partners for a fantastic, high-intensity training day! Hinsdale Fire Department Tri-State Firefighters Local 3165
