Ambulance Services
Purpose
The primary purpose of the paramedic ambulance program is to provide superior rescue and emergency medical care for the community. The Oak Brook Fire Department staffs two advanced life support (ALS) ambulances with two paramedics each. The Oak Brook Fire Department also staffs an advanced life support (ALS) aerial ladder as well as an advanced life support (ALS) squad (rescue-engine). ALS equipment is housed at each of the Village's two fire stations located at 1200 Oak Brook Road and 725 Enterprise Drive (at 22nd Street). A reserve ambulance is also maintained for special events, disasters and placing in service in the event that one of the regular ambulances is out of service for maintenance.
