Greater Round Lake FPD news

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider visited the Greater Round Lake FPD where two grants totaling over $600,000 through the Federal Emergency Management Agency were used to purchase an exhaust system and air packs for firefighters over the past two years.

Schneider is hosting a grant workshop May 14 with U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Sen. Tammy Duckworth. 

The morning session will focus on grants available to local governments, primarily villages and cities, through a panel of grant professionals who will outline what kind of projects would qualify for grant funding.

Panelists will include representatives from FEMA, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Transportation, Illinois Treasurer’s Office, Lake County Stormwater Management Commission, and more.

The afternoon session will focus on grants available to non-profits and individuals, with a panel of professionals from FEMA, the nonprofit organization Forefront, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

New ambulances for Chicago (more)

This from Danny Nelms:

In addition to the pictures that have already been posted online of Ambulance 36 and  Ambulance 20.  At the manufacturer built on a Dodge chassis these pulled into the truck stop when I was getting gas tonight on my way home

A feature I noticed that I haven’t seen on previous ambulances was the red and neon green checkerboarding stripe down the bottom of the box
