Crete Township FPD has been added to the site

The Crete Township Fire Protection District, part of MABAS Division 27, operates three fire stations. Their fleet includes a variety of apparatus from manufacturers such as Pierce, E-ONE, Luverne, and Alexis. The department also utilizes Medtec ambulances and maintains three tankers (tenders), with the most recent one completed in 2011 by Alexis on a Freightliner M2 chassis. One notable piece of history involves the 1995 purchase of a Luverne engine built on an HME 1871 chassis. Two of these units were equipped with the largest extended and raised cabs available at the time. While one was assigned to Alsip, the other remains in service with Crete Township, featuring a fully enclosed pump operator panel. A recent addition to the fleet is a 3,000-gallon tender constructed by Alexis on a Freightliner chassis. This unit features a unique graphic on its porta-tank cover, depicting a steamer that was restored by Gene Morris of Alexis Fire Equipment.

Crete Township’s fire protection efforts have evolved over the years, with each piece of equipment playing a vital role in their mission. From vintage engines to modern tenders, the district continues to adapt and improve its response capabilities.

The department’s commitment to safety and service is evident in every vehicle they operate. Whether it's a classic steamer or a state-of-the-art ambulance, each unit reflects the dedication of the firefighters who serve the community.

As the department continues to grow and modernize, it remains deeply rooted in its history and the values that have defined it for decades. The combination of tradition and innovation ensures that Crete Township Fire Protection District remains a trusted and effective force in the community.
