Huntley FD apparatus

Scott Peterson submitted several images of apparatus from the Huntley Fire Protection District. Huntley  is not yet on the site.

 Unique item on the new Ferrera engine (Engine 944), the Huntley name lights up on the front grill. The other Ferrera units in the area say the brand name.  Also, check out the  roll-up door for the rear hose bed to provide the now required NFPA containment system for hose. Most manufacturers have been using the cargo style netting.

Car into building in Cicero

This from Josh Boyajian:

This morning around 5:30, the Cicero Fire Department had a report of a car into a building at 3545 S 56th Court. Upon arrival the call was upgraded to a pin-in response which brought the 2 trucks, another engine, and 3 ambulances. Two people were seriously hurt. Tower Ladder 1 and Engine 3 were on the extrication tools while Truck 2 was assisting the medics with the victims. Here are some pictures I took.
