Sign the Petition for an
Upgraded 50th Ward Firehouse!

West Rogers Park/West Ridge does not have a dedicated ambulance, and the local firehouse—CFD Engine 71, located at 6239 N. California Ave—is not equipped to house one. Thanks to JNDC and the efforts of our political leaders, Illinois has secured $5 million to renovate the firehouse. This will ensure that first responders have the facilities they need and deserve and enhance the safety of our community. We urge the City of Chicago to commit to this vital project.

Support the Renovation of
CFD Engine 71.
