Northwest Rescue's Harvard station covers northern McHenry County and the surrounding rural communities, right up to the Wisconsin line. Dispatch is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Harvard sits at the northern edge of McHenry County, close enough to the Wisconsin line that a call can come from either side of it. Crews here cover Harvard and the farm communities around it along the Route 14 and Route 173 corridors, and run mutual aid with neighboring fire districts. Addresses are spread out and the nearest hospital is a real drive, which is why we keep a station here instead of running the area from Rockford.
