Mokena Fire Protection District Meeting | September 2025

Article Summary: The Mokena Fire Protection District is budgeting up to $35,000 to renovate the bunk rooms at Fire Station 2 on 191st Street. The project, which is scheduled to begin in October, follows similar updates completed at the district’s headquarters last year.

Station 2 Remodel Key Points:

  • The Board of Trustees approved a budget of $30,000, not to exceed $35,000, for the project.

  • The renovations will update the firefighter living quarters at Station 2.

  • Work is expected to start in October and take approximately six weeks to complete.

The Mokena Fire Protection District Board of Trustees on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, approved funding to update the living quarters at its Fire Station 2.

Trustees unanimously authorized a budget of up to $35,000 for a complete remodel of the station’s bunk rooms. The project is intended to improve conditions for firefighters and mirrors a similar renovation that was completed at the main fire station on Wolf Road in 2024.

According to district documents, the project has an approximate budget of $30,000 and is expected to take about six weeks to complete. Work is scheduled to begin in October. The motion to appropriate the funds for the project was made by Trustee Robert Hennessy and seconded by Trustee Craig Warning. The approval reflects the district’s ongoing investment in maintaining and modernizing its facilities to support its personnel.
