  • On this cold day it was -3°F with a -32°F windchill
    For those wondering why they are two fire houses
    So long ago their was two different fire stations one was for the city fire department and the other was the Rural Fire Department then they merged with Erv's Rural Fire Department and they changed the name to Erv's Sparta Fire District now today they respond to both in town and out of town. The fire hall on the thumbnail holds the wild grass/ brush fire apparatus and the other one holds the stand Fire apparatus (tower 1, rescue 1, tender 1, etc)

    Seems weird seeing volunteers running red lights and sirens on their POVs, in Illinois, POVs can only run blue with no sirens.

      i thought the same exact thing. i was in the volunteer service in new jersey for many years. and ONLY a deputy or assistant chief in a personal vehicle can have red light and siren. Everyone else, ff, LT, capt, only use blue lights. (with some people choosing to add some white lights with the blue.

      Isn't that strange? Washington State was the same way. In the vehicle you drive every day, you got a little identifier green flasher with no EV privileges, but you get to the station you can operate a class 7 or 8 truck you drive once in a while at full code 3...

    Just one Engine, and one Tanker for a Basement Structure Fire ? Seems like a mediocre response. Here in Delaware, we roll our own Squad/Rescue Engine, Tanker, and 2 more Engines, and that does not count what our surrounding Depts nearby will be automatically responding with.
