makes sense to replace a461 with the new rig.

The Des Plaines ambo is really sharp. I like the painted steel wheels.

The new ambulance for Libertyville will be A461, the old A461 will be a reserve at station 1. A462 and A463 are keeping their current rigs. A460 is relocated to station 3 and A464 is being sold. Nothing yet on a new engine.

A 463 is a 2008 e350 medtec a 461 is a 2006 e350 medtec a 462 is a 2011 e350 medtec so lfd must have shifted some rigs around. Anyone know if they are getting a new engine soon?

I’m shocked that lfd is giving another new ambulance for a462 that must be a busy station. It’s good to see libertyville finally make the shift to f series chassis

Libertyville’s new a462 isn’t in service yet. The old a462 was at Condell in service dropping off patients. I suspect the “old” a462 is going to replace a461 which I think has a 2006 or 2007 Ford E450/MedTec. a463 looks a little bit newer than 461.

Bridgeview should be taking delivery of a new Wheeled Coach on a Ford F-450 chassis near the end of the month. It will replace the last leased unit, Ambulance 417 and will be nearly identical to the current 406.

We know where Westmont got the ideas for their ambulance. Its almost identical to Darien-Woodridge
