Beach Park Fire Department

== Department Profile ==
BPFD is a combination department with both full time and part time employees supplemented by paid-on-call Firefighter-Paramedics. 
== History ==
The organization, now called the Beach Park Fire Department was started in May 1942 by a group of energetic citizens who held a meeting in the basement of the Bonnie Brook School. Then, on October 17, 1942, an election was held to create a fire protection district to cover the area lying between Waukegan and Zion from the Lake Michigan shore west to the boundary lines of Warren and Newport townships. The issue was carried by the overwhelming vote of 264 to 10 and thus was created the Bonnie Brook Fire Protection District.
The department was renamed the Beach Park Fire Department in November 2002.
