Photos of Union Grove - Yorkville Fire Department's current station
Union Grove passed a municipal referendum Nov. 5, which allocated funding to a new fire station for the Union Grove - Yorkville Fire Department.Â
- ANNIE PULLEY
It's nearly impossible to remove cots from the ambulances in the current UGYFD garage. The new station will have almost triple the space.
- ANNIE PULLEY
The current UGYFD station at 700 Main St. in Union Grove was built in 1974. The new station likely will be in Yorkville.Â
- ANNIE PULLEY
Because emergency apparatus have become larger, firefighters with Union Grove-Yorkville Fire Department have less and less space to safely don and doff their gear.Â
- ANNIE PULLEY
The UGYFD's current station is at 700 Main Street in Union Grove and was built in 1974.
- ANNIE PULLEY
Drivers must maneuver tight spaces to get into emergency vehicles at the current UGYFD station.
- ANNIE PULLEY
The department has one turnout gear washer, which is critical for decontamination. In its new station, there will be an additional machine in a dedicated laundry room.Â
- ANNIE PULLEY
The department plans to remain a part-time and paid-on-call service until the needs of the community require a transition to a full-time staff. Its average call volume is about 1,000 calls per year.Â
- ANNIE PULLEY
The fire chiefs all share one office due to limited space.
- ANNIE PULLEY
This room serves as a training and meeting space, dining area and break area for staff. The new station will dedicate a space to each primary function.
