Tri-State Fire Protection District (Illinois)

History
Tri-State Fire Protection District began in 1941 as a small group of volunteers working to help others. The first firefighters to serve this district volunteered their time and energy, and helped to support the operations of the department by holding several fund raising events each year. The firefighters realized fund raising was not the answer and on September 27, 1946, through a voter’s referendum, the Tri-State Fire Protection District was established and levied a fire tax for the first time. Over the years, the District was supported by volunteers, and then made the transition to a staff of paid-on-call firefighters.
