The Park Ridge Fire Department facilities currently consist of two strategically located fire stations and one separate administrative office building. Minor calls are dispatched to either the North Station (Station 36) or the South Station (Station 35) determined by the location of the call as the town is divided by railroad tracks. For more serious calls, both stations will be dispatched.
