Libertyville Fire Department
The Libertyville Fire Department (LFD) protects and provides
services to the Village of Libertyville and to the Libertyville
Fire Protection District. The Village of Libertyville covers an
area of approximately 9.1 square miles and contains about 21,000
residents. The Libertyville Fire Protection District includes
the surrounding unincorporated portions of Libertyville
Township, Green Oaks, Mettawa (portions), unincorporated Lake
Forest and Rondout. In total, LFD serves an area of
approximately 35 square miles and containing about 53,000
residents. Additionally, the department serves Abbott
Laboratories headquarters which contains about 9,500 employees.
The district also includes a nearly 8 mile stretch of I-94.
LFD provides a number of services including fire suppression,
EMS (paramedic), special rescue, hazardous materials response,
dive rescue, public education, and fire code enforcement. As
one of the busiest fire departments in Lake County, LFD
responded to 3769 emergency calls in 2011 within the Village,
the District, and neighboring communities.
These responses and services are provided out of three fire
stations staffed with 41 full-time and 1 part time employees.
Currently there is a minimum of 10 personnel and a maximum of 13
personnel assigned to each shift between the three stations.
Personnel numbers can vary due to vacation time, injury, and
sick leave. The normal work day for each shift is 24 hours on
duty (one shift) followed by 48 hours off (two shifts). Shifts
commence at 7:00 am and end at 7:00 am the following day. The
administration offices along with the fire prevention bureau are
open from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday. For more
