This from John Tulipano:

I have a few updates to Carol Stream:

• Station 3 is now Station 27

 All part of the DuPage Fire Alliance numbering.

I have submitted shots Engine 29 and Tower Ladder 28, both of which are new rigs, plus shots of Squad 27 and 27a with the new numbers.

  I live in Carol Stream, I belive that they bought a E-ONE tower instead of a Spartan because of height with their station, and the look. Squad 27 was stations with only paramedic27 until 2010 when they got 27a, 27a was at first called rescue 235 and Squad 27 was Squad 235. Did anyone see the new battalion car it is very nice, i saw it at an accident scene in early november i believe.

  Or they didn’t like the Alexis tower ladders?!?

  I would think that they wanted the E-One because the jack spread is the best out there. It’s low and short so it doesn’t pose too many set up problems like the others do. Just a thought.

  Actually I believe that 27A was purchased a few years after 27
