Schaumburg Professional Firefighter's Benevolent Association: Pink Tie Firemen’s Ball, an annual fundraiser supporting the fight against all cancers!

02/05/2026

Elk Grove Village Fire Department Lieutenant Schlott’s 10-month-old daughter, Raelynn, has been diagnosed with a Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor. This is an extremely rare and aggressive cancer that affects infants and young children, with only an estimated 20–25 cases diagnosed nationwide each year.

For those who are able and wish to contribute, the family has requested that donations be made to the St. Baldrick's Foundation in support of childhood cancer research.

Please continue to send positive thoughts, prayers, and encouragement their way.

This St. Baldrick's team has joined together to fight kids' cancer by shaving their heads and raising money for research! Make a donation to support their efforts, or join the team to be a part of the fun!

Congratulations to the Arlington Heights Fire Department and IAFF Local 3105 on officially placing a 5th ambulance in service! This is a big win for the community and a direct investment in faster response times, improved coverage, and better patient care. It strengthens service for both residents and visitors and helps ensure help is there when it’s needed most. Well done!

A Historic Day for Arlington Heights

Today marks a truly historic moment for Arlington Heights and its firefighters.

After years of research, careful planning, and invaluable community input and support, Ambulance 5 is now officially placed into service 24/7, 365 days a year. This milestone represents a major step forward in our ability to deliver timely, high-quality emergency medical care to our residents.

This achievement would not have been possible without the leadership and commitment of Chief Harris, his administrative staff, Village leadership, the Village Board, and AH Mayor Tinaglia, all of whom worked collaboratively to make this vision a reality.

Most importantly, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the Arlington Heights community. Your trust, engagement, and support have allowed us the opportunity to better serve you, your families, and your neighbors when it matters most.

Today is about progress, partnership, and a shared commitment to public safety. We are proud to stand watch and honored to serve.

Busier than ever.

In 2025, as our community continued to grow, so did the demand on our firefighters and paramedics. The year reflected a sustained increase in call volume, meaning our members responded more often, worked harder, and spent more time serving our residents.

Behind every number is a highly trained IAFF Local 4092 member answering the call day and night, weekends and holidays.

Members of L4092, along with the incredible support of our community, came together to fill 20 boxes of donated items for Cal's Angels. These donations will go directly to families battling pediatric cancer, helping provide comfort, support, and hope during an incredibly difficult time.

Thank you to everyone who supported this great cause!
