ORLAND PARK, Ill. — The Orland Professional Firefighters Local 2754 union continues to raise concerns about the fire district’s ability to respond to an increasing number of calls since an ambulance went offline in June, despite the new fire chief’s assertions the additional ambulance is not needed.
Union President Dan Fagan, an Orland Park firefighter, said the district is finding it’s down to one or no ambulances, requiring them to seek backup from outside communities.
