A Message from Chief Argast

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, all the firefighters and employees of Pleasantview Fire Protection District, I would like to welcome you to our website. Pleasantview is dedicated to providing the very best emergency service to our communities. As a new resident or business owner, you may come from far away or been relocated from another area within the Pleasantview service area. Either way, I would like to take a few minutes to explain a little bit about Pleasantview.

As a fire protection district, Pleasantview is a separate taxing district providing service to a number of communities including Countryside, Hodgkins, Indian Head Park, LaGrange Highlands, parts of Burr Ridge and Willowbrook, as well as some unincorporated areas. We do this from three fire stations, each staffed with personnel 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Pleasantview is proud to have been one of the first agencies to provide paramedic services to our communities more than 40 years ago. We have continued to improve our service. Now every primary response vehicle, including fire engines and trucks, is equipped with the same equipment carried on our ambulances and staffed with paramedics who are able to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) treatment.

In addition to fighting fires, our firefighters are trained to address a wide variety of emergency situations. Each firefighter has advanced training in the mitigation of hazardous materials incidents and specialized rescue. Each response vehicle is well equipped with an extensive complement of tools to address a wide variety of of emergency situations.

While we are certainly prepared to help you in the event of an emergency, we feel that preventing the emergency in the first place is the best way to protect our residents. Educating the community in fire safety and accident prevention are just two ways we are able to achieve this goal. We offer CPR and First Aid classes regularly. You may stop by any of our stations to have your blood pressure checked by one of our paramedics, no appointment necessary. We also have certified car seat installers. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We offer many other programs aimed at preventing emergencies and are available if you have questions we can help you with.

If you aren’t sure whether your property is part of the Pleasantview Fire Protection District, please give us a call.
