Geneva Fire Department History
This message comes from Drew Smith:
I served as a contract Fire Fighter/Paramedic with the Geneva Fire Department from December 1, 1982, to November 30, 1989. During my time there, I had the opportunity to organize a live fire training exercise sometime between 1985 and 1988. The location was on the east side of Kirk Road, just north of Illinois Route 38. At that time, the area around the intersection was still in the early stages of development, making it a perfect spot for training.
In the group photo, you can spot the current Fire Chief, Steve Olson, wearing a red helmet at the far left of the second row. The current Deputy Chief, Jerry Koster, is also in a red helmet, positioned second from the right in the same row. Frank Johnson, who was the former Fire Chief, is in the front center wearing a white T-shirt. All the other officers in red helmets have since retired. Some of the other firefighters in the picture are now serving with various fire departments in the western suburbs, including Batavia, Carol Stream, Oak Park, Saint Charles, and Naperville.
It’s always interesting to look back and see how things have changed over the years. This event was a great example of the teamwork and dedication that defined our department during that time.
