In MABAS Division 19, the four stations of the New Lenox Fire Protection District have been added to the site. New Lenox has a combination of career and contract personnel that staff four ambulances, four engines, and a truck. The ambulances are a mixture of Horton and Medtec. The engines are from Pierce and Sutphen, and the truck is a Pierce.
Engine 1631, a 2009 Sutphen Shield Series, was mentioned in a previous post because it was a Sutphen demo unit that spent time at the Joliet Speedway before being purchased by New Lenox.
A few other interesting pieces of apparatus at New Lenox Station 1 include a 1993 Oshkosh TA-3000 ARFF (X-Navy) which is available through MABAS as a tanker or as a foam tender for over-the-road tankers and industrial fires.
New Lenox also purchased a 1971 Oshkosh/Pierce 75′ Snorkel from the Hillsboro Fire Department.
