The Daily Herald recently published an article discussing Hanover Park officials' efforts to consolidate fire district coverage across municipal areas. Hanover Park is currently in the early stages of talks with the neighboring Bloomingdale Fire Protection District about transferring a largely industrial zone—along with its associated tax revenue—into the village's fire jurisdiction. Both parties are working to define potential boundaries and assess the financial impact on their respective budgets. "You can't just come in and take tax dollars from another entity without considering how they've relied on that funding for their operations," said Hanover Park Fire Chief Craig Haigh. The exact amount of tax revenue involved isn’t yet clear, but if both sides agree, the transition could be phased over time to avoid a sudden financial hit to Bloomingdale. Haigh noted that neither department expects any immediate changes in staffing or equipment. Bloomingdale Fire Chief Jeff Janus emphasized that the main priority is maintaining public safety. "Our goal is to make sure residents receive the protection they need," he added. Haigh also mentioned that Hanover Park is seeking a voluntary agreement and has no intention of pursuing legal action. In such a case, the village would have to prove in court that its fire department could serve the area more effectively than Bloomingdale. In 2000, Hanover Park established its own fire department after taking over the defunct Hanover Park Fire Protection District. Since then, the village has worked to disconnect land within its boundaries from other fire districts through negotiated agreements. The areas under discussion surround two key intersections: Gary Avenue and Lake Street, as well as County Farm and Schick roads. These lands have long been part of Hanover Park. The move is expected to improve operational efficiency, as both Hanover Park and Bloomingdale police currently cover the area using different radio systems. Although the fire department sees record numbers of emergency calls—projecting nearly 4,000 this year—fire-related losses have dropped significantly. Haigh credits this improvement to recent reorganization efforts. Integrating these areas into Hanover Park’s fire department would also eliminate a "dual inspection process." In 2011, the fire department took over building inspections previously handled by the community development department. Now, inspectors check businesses for code compliance and review permits. However, properties in the current negotiation areas are inspected by both departments, each evaluating them against fire and life safety standards. Officials hope to finalize the agreement by the fall, before setting their property tax levies for the upcoming year.
