Department History

Early in 1933, a used Model "AA" Ford chassis previously used as a coal truck was purchased for $75.00.  By July 15, 1933, the Mokena Village Model AA Fire Engine fire engine was complete with chemical extinguishers and a pump at the cost of $283.35.  The department restored the antique engine in the 1980's and still has it today and proudly drives it in parades.
