No. 11-2905
Decision Date: 
February 28, 2012
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed and reversed in part and remanded
In action seeking to enjoin defendant-fire district from implementing ordinance that required plaintiff’s customers to have direct-connect/wireless connections for fire alarm services on defendant’s control center board, Dist. Ct. erred, as matter of state law, in entering permanent injunction that precluded defendant from generating said requirements since said requirements are consistent with section 11 of Ill. Fire Protection District Act and with prevailing national standards under Nat’l. Fire Protection Association. Dist. Ct. did not err in entering permanent injunction as to portion of ordinance that required plaintiff’s customers to use defendant and its one chosen private vendor as sole suppliers of fire alarm equipment and services.
