Services
The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District is responsible for providing fire protection and emergency medical services to the Villages of Deerfield (north of Lake Cook Road), Bannockburn, a portion of Riverwoods and Lincolnshire in West Deerfield Township, and areas of unincorporated Lake County.
The Deerfield Volunteer Fire Department was officially organized in 1912 and Lincoln Pettis was appointed as the first fire chief. Back then it was a municipal department under the jurisdiction of the Village of Deerfield. However, in 1942, the village voted by referendum to disband the municipal department and turned over fire protection to the newly formed Deerfield Bannockburn Fire Protection District. Prior to the creation of our fire district the first piece of fire equipment was a two-wheel cart.
The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District is a state chartered corporate entity operating under state laws as a municipal corporation. Territory of the fire district includes the villages of Deerfield (north of Lake-Cook Road), Bannockburn, Riverwoods and Lincolnshire (within West Deerfield Township) and all unincorporated areas of West Deerfield Township, totaling 8.3 square miles.
The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District is governed by a board of trustees. The board is made up of three trustees appointed by the Lake County Board, each serving a staggered three year term. While the fire chief is tasked with managing the day-to-day operations, the board of trustees is ultimately responsible for the entirety of district business.
