Crete Township Fire Protection District Station

The newest station for Crete Township is located at 26730 S. Stony Island Avenue. This image was captured by Bill Friedrich.

The Crete Township Fire Protection District, part of MABAS Division 27, operates three fire stations. Their fleet includes a variety of fire engines from manufacturers like Pierce, E-ONE, Luverne, and Alexis. The department also uses Medtec ambulances and maintains three tankers, with the most recent one completed in 2011 by Alexis on a Freightliner M2 chassis.

In 1995, Crete Township joined several other south suburban fire departments in ordering an engine from Luverne, mounted on an HME 1871 chassis. Two of these units featured the largest extended and raised cabs available at the time. One was assigned to Alsip, while the other remains in service with Crete Township, equipped with a fully enclosed pump operator panel.

Crete Township’s fire department continues to evolve, maintaining a mix of modern and classic equipment that reflects its long-standing commitment to public safety. Whether it's a newly built tender or a vintage steamer, each piece of gear tells a story of dedication and progress in firefighting technology.
