Tris-State FPD update

The Tri-State FPD assumed responsibility yesterday for the Village of Willow Springs. A reader submitted the following:

Looks like Tri-State packed up Engine 541 and relocated to Willow Springs. A good source told me they packed up everything in a truck this afternoon. I think they forgot to tell the residents. I hope no one drives by looking for help. Love your website keep up the good work.
