Deputy Chief Drew Smith has provided an update regarding the multi-vehicle accident that occurred last week on Palatine Road: Prospect Heights and Wheeling Fire Departments have a coordinated response plan for incidents along Palatine Road. A unified command structure is in place to ensure a fast and effective response, regardless of jurisdiction. The junior expressway (as referred to by IDOT) runs east-west for three miles and crosses into both towns multiple times, sometimes serving as the border between them. There are also four bridges and only three interchanges for access. When the RED Center receives a 9-1-1 call about an incident, a dual response is dispatched, with each department approaching from opposite directions. This ensures that if one route becomes blocked due to traffic, the other unit can still reach the scene quickly. Once a company arrives on-site, the location is confirmed, and the appropriate apparatus can be sent or returned accordingly. In the case of a "pin-in" situation, additional extrication units are instructed to stage before entering Palatine Road and wait for the first unit to confirm the best approach. I've attached a map showing the three grids and the entry points for each department. Grid 923 Grid 3923 Grid 3924 Companies Entry Point Companies Entry Point Companies Entry Point A9, E9 A23, E23 Schoenbeck Wheeling Rd. A9, E39 A23, E23 Wolf Rd. Wheeling Rd. A9, E39 A24, E24 Wolf Rd. Milwaukee Ave. In the event of a pin-in, Prospect Heights E39 or Squad 9, along with Wheeling E24, plus the Wheeling squad or truck, and both the Prospect Heights and Wheeling chiefs, should be dispatched. For more information, please refer to the attached map which outlines the grid system and the specific entry points used by each department during joint responses on Palatine Road. This plan helps ensure that emergency services can respond efficiently and effectively, even in complex situations involving multiple jurisdictions and challenging road conditions.
