Chestnut Volunteer Fire Department
and EMS abruptly shut down
[March 03, 2026]
On Monday, residents of
Chestnut took to social media to express their fear and outrage over
the sudden closure of the Chestnut Fire Department and EMS services
by the Mt. Pulaski Rural Fire Protection District Board of Trustees.
According to information received, the Chestnut department is
“Station 2” and under the jurisdiction of the Mt. Pulaski Rural Fire
Department District Board of Trustees.
Third party sources say that attempts to reach out to that board
have yielded little to no response, with the only comment made being
to state that the contents of the board meeting are confidential.
The Mt. Pulaski Fire Protection Board of Trustees will host a public
meeting on this topic on Monday, March 9th at 7 p.m. at the Aetna
Township Building, 209 W. South Street in Chestnut.
The meeting agenda states that there will be a discussion regarding
the future of Mt. Pulaski Rural Fire Protection District Station
Two, followed by Board Discussion and Questions.
There will also be a time for Public Comments at the beginning of
the meeting.
The meeting is open to the public.
