Addison Fire District updates

Nov 28

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News | 4 Comments

This from Tim Right:

Hello, This is from DC Joe Leone
Hello Mr. Right, we purchased and are now building two new ambulances for the District. They should be done in July. They are from Horton and are F-550. We will sell just one of the old ones and have a total of 5 ambulances. 3 full time, one spare with gear on it and one in reserve. The two engines are in reserve and one of them is at station 1 the other is at station 3.
Also I have attached the new quints pictures so you can add them to their numbered station when you are updating.
Thanks,
Tim

Also back for the holidays are our family of festive firehouse mice who have taken up residence to decorate the Aurora Regional Fire Museum. See CoCo as he bakes in the museum’s kitchen, Sparks as he tries to ring a fire bell, and Ashes as he decorates a 1948 fire engine…. We’ll give you a special treat if you can spot all the holiday mice.

The Gingerbread FIREhouse Exhibit opens — and will be judged — on Saturday, November 29th with special activities, FREE admission for the day, a visit from Santa the Fire Chief, storytelling, a holiday mouse hunt, and more. All gingerbread FIREhouses will remain on exhibit at the Aurora Regional Fire Museum though Saturday December 20th, and most will be available by raffle.
