Fire Protection District Quits Monitoring Business
“Chalk one up for the good guys,” said president of the Illinois Electronic Security Association (IESA), Chet Donati, at a legislative dinner event held by the IESA in conjunction with the ESA. He was referring to the latest development in the ADT Vs. Lisle Woodridge Fire District lawsuit. After a federal court issued a permanent injunction in late July against the fire protection district for regulating fire monitoring illegally, the district issued a notice last week officially removing itself from the monitoring business. That ruling was the result of a lawsuit initiated by ADT and five other security companies, which were losing significant business in this district due to a non-competitive ordinance.
