In a recent article published by The Courier-News, it was announced that the East Dundee Fire Protection District is finally moving forward with groundbreaking ceremonies for their new fire station. This marks a significant milestone for the community, as it represents not only progress but also a renewed commitment to public safety.
Mark Guth, who at 13 years old witnessed the construction of the original fire station on Third Street over six decades ago, was present alongside fellow trustees, village officials, fire department personnel, and residents during the ceremonial groundbreaking. Now 75 and retired from the fire department, Guth currently serves as the president of the East Dundee Fire Protection District Board of Trustees. Reflecting on the occasion, Guth expressed excitement, stating, "Today’s the day, finally." Fire Chief Steve Schmitendorf echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that this project has been a cherished goal for many years.
The new facility, which is set to be constructed near the intersection of Routes 25 and 72, comes at a cost of $5.5 million. The funds were raised through a successful referendum approved by local taxpayers last November. According to fire officials, this location was chosen due to its strategic placement within the district, allowing for more efficient coverage across the entire service area. The district extends eastward to include areas like Higgins Road and Interstate 90, ensuring comprehensive protection for all residents.
To ensure fairness in financial transactions, East Dundee authorities have pledged to contribute $100,000 annually over the next 20 years toward the construction loan, effectively offsetting some bond payments. This gesture aims to balance the exchange since the village will gain possession of the existing structure along with its land. Anticipating a construction timeline of approximately ten months, the project promises timely completion and readiness for operational use.
Serving multiple communities including East Dundee, South Barrington, Barrington Hills, and parts of Kane and Cook Counties, the fire district plays a crucial role in maintaining regional safety standards.
