Antioch Fire Department assumes full EMS for district

The *Daily Herald* recently published an article detailing a major shift in emergency medical services (EMS) in Antioch. For the first time since 1938, the Antioch Rescue Squad (ARS) is no longer responsible for providing ambulance services during fire or rescue calls in the area. The contract between the ARS and the First Fire Protection District of Antioch officially ended at 5 a.m. on Friday, marking a significant change in how emergency services are delivered across the town and unincorporated areas. According to officials, all 27,000 residents of Antioch and Antioch Township now receive ambulance services through the Antioch Fire Department. Fire Chief John Nixon confirmed that the transition was smooth and efficient. “We had an extremely peaceful transition at 5 a.m., and we’ve now fully established ourselves throughout the district,” he said. Nixon added that crews are currently relocating to Fire Station 3 on Grass Lake Road, with 11 employees stationed across the three fire stations. To ensure a seamless switch, required computer programs used by fire departments were uploaded to dispatch centers and ambulances. Nixon emphasized that residents should not notice any disruption in service. “People in need should not see any change in the response time or quality of care,” he said. This decision comes after the First Fire Protection District chose not to renew its contract with the ARS this year. The goal is to consolidate fire and rescue services under one department, a move similar to what the village did just a year ago. The aim is to improve efficiency and streamline operations. ARS President Todd Thommes acknowledged the change and stated that the rescue squad is currently evaluating its next steps. “We don’t have a future plan in place right now,” he admitted. “I wish I could give a clearer picture of what’s coming, but as of now, we’re still figuring it out.” Thanks, Dan.
