Fire Prevention & Life Safety Services
Spring Grove Fire Protection District
The SGFPD is a branch of local government which provides Fire and Advanced Life Support (ALS-Paramedics) ambulance services to approximately 23 square miles of property located in Burton and Richmond Townships. The fire department, formerly known as the Burton-Richmond Fire Protection District began service in the 1920s becoming a formal Fire District in 1940 and adding rescue service in 1981 when the department moved into its new station located at 8214 Richardson Road. Fire and ALS services are provided to approximately 7500 residents, primarily within the village of Spring Grove, IL. The department is currently 24-hour paid on premise (POP) ensuring coverage for all residents within the district day and night. Paid-on-call (POC) and volunteer members continue to respond to all calls to provide additional staff.
Our Mission
