This from Bill Friedrich:
The City of Rockford had issues with apparatus breaking down due to age so they started purchasing used apparatus. One from Naperville, two from Elmhurst and one from St.Charles. There are no plans to repaint these vehicles to the Rockford FD color scheme.

Is Rockford Engine 15 (the old Elmhurst Engine 2) still running with the dept?

The picture of Rockford Engine 15 is actually Elmhurst Engine 2, which was either a 1991 or 1992. There are significant differences between the two, and I’m very familiar with them.
