The Carol Stream Fire District's official website offers a detailed history of the department, covering the origins of the Keeneyville Fire Protection District and the evolution of the Carol Stream Company. For many years, their fire apparatus was painted black over yellow, but this changed in 1996 when the color scheme was updated to red.
Station 3, located at 1045 Lies Road, is where the two-piece squad company is based. These units always operate together. The first unit, Squad 235, is a 2006 Spartan Gladiator Classic/Alexis 1500/750 pumper. The second unit, Rescue 235, is a brand-new 2010 Spartan Metro Star Alexis HDR. The squad is equipped with a full set of hydraulic rescue tools, while the rescue unit carries additional equipment such as an air cascade system, TRT materials, and more specialized supplies.
