The Joliet Fire Department receives between 40 and 50 requests to attend block parties each summer. Our on duty crews try to accommodate as many parties as possible.
Every attempt is made to send one fire engine and one ambulance to each event.
The fire station closest to the party is the equipment of choice . Our units are in-service and available to leave should an emergency arise. To schedule your fire department visit contact the Joliet Fire Department's Office of Public Education at 724-3504. The parties will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis so please call early. There is no cost to the homeowners for our visit.
