NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The Naperville Fire Department today launched the Rescue Vehicle Program, an innovative program aimed at more efficiently delivering appropriate resources to non-emergency calls.
The department’s rescue vehicles — Rescue 1 and Rescue 2 — will be housed at Fire Station No. 9 on the City’s north side and Fire Station No. 10 on the City’s south side. As staffing allows, each rescue vehicle will be staffed by one firefighter or firefighter/paramedic trained to respond to non-emergency calls, such as carbon monoxide calls where no illness is reported, elevator alarms where no one is trapped, malfunctioning fire alarms and open burning complaints.
Naperville Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis said the department responds to an estimated 1,000 non-emergency calls annually.
