Bedford Park Fire Department apparatus update

Jun 10

Posted by Admin in Ambulance photos, Fire Truck photos | 3 Comments

This from Martin Nowak:

In the past, I’ve mentioned that Bedford Park was down from 3 ambulances to 2. Former Ambulance 714 is a 2007 Ford E-450/Medtec. It was the major flood of 2011 when Bedford Park was responding into Summit, under the viaduct right before 63rd. Tower 709 and former A714 were both damaged in flood water. 709 was repaired and 714 was later disposed of. Pictures of it sitting behind Station 1 OOS. Today stands a small garage.  

 
The current A714 is a 2003 International/Medtec which was 712 at the time they had the 2007 Ford. Changes since the picture on Chicagoareafire include a new LED light bar.  Also Tower 709 has newer LED’s since the pictures added to he site.
