When a department is added to the website, we strive for accuracy in our postings. When North Aurora was posted yesterday, we had listed several units as being assigned to the annex building. Evidently, the information we had is already out of date. We are always glad to have readers provide us with pertinent information including corrections.
Such was the case when Brian Kazmierzak of the Clay Fire Territory in South Bend viewed the site and noticed a familiar unit. He sent us a note with a photo of Clay Fire Tactical Rescue 2 (T2) which bears a striking resemblance to North Aurora Technical Rescue 540.
The Clay Fire Territory acquired the unit from North Aurora in July of 2010 and since September of 2010 it responds as part of the MABAS Division 201 Tactical Rescue Team.

Brian also informed us that Technical Rescue 544 (1997 Freightliner FLD/Fruehauf) is now in Aurora.

North Aurora does not store much in the annex anymore. Their fleet mechanic comes out of there, the mass disaster truck and a pick up truck. Some hose and other spare equipment.

What does North Aurora store in the annex building since both semi-trailers are gone

That is correct. I found out yesterday that the City of Aurora bought the vehicle for $1.00

544 was sold to the City of Aurora as part of their TRT response and also still part of MABAS 13 TRT response.
