What was the purpose of the renumbering? They had been in the 80’s except for the medic (79) and tower (90) as long as I can remember, even back when I lived there 18 years ago. Does it have something to do with who dispatches them or MABAS?

The Toyne engine should be Engine 17, if I’m not mistaken.

Yes Evan the tender was sold to Melville Fire Department in Iowa. Correction the numbering was switched over last October

Did Bensenville get rid of their tanker?
