The president of Inverness has called for a new agreement between the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District (BCFPD) and the Palatine Rural Fire Protection District (PRFPD), proposing that PRFPD take responsibility for all emergency calls within Inverness, including areas currently covered by BCFPD. The Daily Herald recently published an updated report on this ongoing discussion.
Inverness Village President Jack Tatooles continues to push for a deal that would allow the Palatine Rural Fire Department to respond to emergencies on the west side of his village. However, both fire districts remain divided over financial concerns, making it unclear if an agreement can be reached.
“I don’t think this is going to be negotiated,†said Glen Grosch, president of Palatine Rural FPD, during a recent meeting. “I think this will either stay the same or change through a referendum.†Grosch emphasized that as a board member, he can't unilaterally redraw district boundaries, but he noted that referendums have been used in the past to make such changes.
Tatooles made his case during a meeting where BCFPD trustees Paul Heinze and Marvin Hill met with local leaders to discuss the effects of the district’s recent split from the Barrington Fire Department. While officials from Lake Barrington, South Barrington, and Barrington Township raised concerns about staffing and train traffic affecting response times, Tatooles focused on his vision for a mutual aid agreement between the two fire departments.
Under the proposed arrangement, both fire districts would respond to emergencies within each other’s jurisdiction if their closest station is available. According to Tatooles, Palatine Rural’s station is just 1.5 miles away from the west side of Inverness, while BCFPD’s Station 2 in Barrington Hills is 5 miles away, and Station 3 in Lake Barrington is 7 miles distant.
However, the success of such an automatic-aid agreement depends heavily on resolving a dispute over how much property tax revenue Palatine Rural would receive from the arrangement. Grosch stated that his department has rejected a paid-on-call model and is seeking a significant portion of BCFPD’s property taxes from the area. He also mentioned that Palatine Rural already compensates other departments for coverage in remote parts of its own district, and the proposed agreement would follow a similar structure—though no specific figures have been finalized yet.
Medical CoCrMo
The CoCrMo alloy is composed of cobalt, chromium, and molybdenum, with small amounts of other elements such as nickel, iron, and carbon.
Known as ASTM F1537, a specification for Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy used in the manufacturing of orthopedic implants, this material is a type of high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy that is commonly used in medical applications due to its biocompatibility and excellent wear resistance.
It is also known for its high fatigue strength, making it ideal for use in joint replacement surgeries.
Overall, ASTM F1537 CoCrMo material is a reliable and durable option for orthopedic implants that can provide long-lasting support and stability for patients.
