Tonight, North Chicago Firefighter, Danny Roark, along with members of the Libertyville Fire Department, were recognized by Northwestern Medicine North Region EMS System for their outstanding efforts during a structure fire incident involving a patient who suffered inhalation injuries. Due to the prompt and professional care provided on scene and during transport, the patient made a full recovery and was ultimately released from the hospital without any lasting complications. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment to excellence reflect the highest standards of the fire service.

Everyone, please help us congratulate members of both departments on a job well done! "Going above and beyond is a choice, not a requirement. It reflects core personal traits like empathy and dedication. While your job description dictates what you must do, your character determines how much of yourself you give to others."

*Congratulations to LFD's Lt Chris Adams, FF Michael Avila, & FF Mason Riley.
