Will the new engine be replacing the Seagrave or the Crimson? And I know this was quite awhile ago, so I’m sure I missed it. What happened to the Crimson Tower that Wheaton had back in 2006 or 2007?

Will Wheaton run with 3 engines and the tower? since you purchased and another pierce engine.

  Two engines and one tower. Replacing an older engine with another PUC this spring.

So when there’s a confirmed fire and Carol Stream is due Mutual Aid they send a BC, DC and the chief?

  Depends where in town.

#1 New Assistant Chief and numbers 36-39 are assigned to Wheaton. #2 The light bars work for us. As we are Big men not boy’s. #4 Wheaton Chief Schultz took command and stood in the driveway the entire time. Command presence. #5 B/C’s run the shifts and with the Alliance the Carol Stream Chiefs (B/C, D/C and Chief) are due on structure fires. I hope I was able to answer your questions.

Who is the guy wearing the helmet that says 36? It looks like wheaton, but they use 37-39 last I heard.

I’m NOT liking that SHORT lightbar on that Wheaton engine. MUST go full-width of the cab with it–a BIG BOY’s lightbar.

Is Carol Stream’s chief of department Kolomay holding the radio?

Do the deputy chiefs in Carol Stream run as the shift commander? Or did Chief Hoff just take that car for the fire?
