Emergency Responses:
The Lockport Township Fire District continues to work throughout the community and we come into contact with many people. We are taking the utmost precautions to ensure the safety of our personnel and the residents we care for during this pandemic. Our Firefighter/Paramedics are wearing a higher level of Personnel Protective Equipment on every call and will be screening the residences we respond to in order to take the proper precautions for both responders and patients.
EMS Transports:
Temporarily, hospitals in our area have restricted visitors in their facilities, with the exceptions of parents of minors. The Fire District will be following the same procedure as it applies to the family of the patients we transport to these hospitals. Once the hospitals start allowing visitors, the Fire District will follow suit.
Thank you for your cooperation,

The Lockport Township Fire Protection District responded to an early morning fire in the 2500 Blk of S. Farrell Rd in unincorporated Lockport Township. The initial alarm came in at approximately 0311hrs on April 3rd for a reported barn fire. Crews arrived to find a barn approximately 50’ x 100’ fully involved in fire. The fire had also extended to the adjoining metal pole building on the property. The barn where the fire originated was used to house numerous sheep, all of which perished in the fire. The fire building had collapsed and was a total loss while the exposure building sustained significant damage.
Crews spent approximately three hours on the scene due to a large amount of overhaul that was needed to extinguish the fire.

Severe Weather Safety
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground. Tornadoes are capable of completely destroying well-made structures, uprooting trees, and hurling objects through the air like deadly missiles. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night and at any time of the year. Although tornadoes are most common in the Central Plains and the southeastern United States, they have been reported in all 50 states.
If you know what to do before, during and after a tornado, you will minimize your risk of injury and increase your chances of survival. You'll also find links to research, past events other topics of interest as well as downloadable safety handouts about thunderstorms, lightning, and tornadoes.
If you, or someone you know, has been a victim of a tornado, please share your story so we can prevent others from becoming a victim. When you write, please note that NWS has permission to use your story and, if possible, let us know the town and state you were in and the year the event took place.

The Lockport Township Fire Protection District responded to an early morning overnight fire in the City of Crest Hill. Saturday morning, July 25th, at 0217hrs our department resounded to a reported house fire in the 1900 Blk of Cora St. Initial fire companies arrived to find heavy fire showing from the rear of the one story, single family residence.
The two adults and two children who were home at the time were alerted to the fire by a neighbor pounding on their front door. All were able to safely evacuate the home prior to the fire departments arrival. The Red Cross was called in to assist the family with their needs.
The fire was upgraded to a Full Still which brought additional resources to the scene from Plainfield, Romeoville, and Troy Fire departments. Due to the extensive amount of overhaul needed to extinguish the fire additional manpower from Homer, New Lenox, and Romeoville was also requested to the scene. Companies spent approximately two hours battling the fire.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Lockport Fire Investigators.

On Sunday morning, July 19th, at 0833hrs the Lockport Township Fire Protection District received a call from a passerby reporting smoke coming from the building at 2301 Plainfield Rd, Game Time Hookah Lounge in the City of Crest Hill. Fire companies arrived and found smoke showing from the small one story commercial building that was unoccupied at the time. Companies initially had difficulty finding the seat of the fire which was eventually located in the crawl space and walls. Due to additions on the original building and it’s construction, the fire proved to be extremely difficult to extinguish. Companies worked for a couple hours performing overhaul to ensure the fire was out. The building sustained significant damage which will result in the business be closed for an indefinite amount of time.
The fire was upgraded to a Full Still which brought additional resources to the scene from New Lenox, Romeoville, and Troy Fire departments.
Homer, Minooka, NW Homer, Plainfield, and Romeoville Fire Departments provided station coverage, handling several other calls, while companies worked at the fire.

At 1657hrs on August 17th the Lockport Township Fire Protection District responded to a reported structure fire in the 1600blk of Fairmount Ave in unincorporated Lockport Township. When fire companies arrived they found smoke showing from the rear of the building. Due to the buildings construction and an addition that connected two structures together, it was extremely difficult to extinguish the fire that was hidden in various void spaces within the building.
The fire was elevated to a M.A.B.A.S. Box Alarm which brought additional apparatus and manpower to the scene. Companies spent about 2 ½ hours battling the fire which caused extensive damage to the building.
There were no injuries reported and the Red Cross was called in to assist two of the building residents.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Lockport Fire Investigators along with assistance from the M.A.B.A.S 15 Fire Investigators.
