  Mike, Mundelein has a working agreement with Libertyville to share their Tower Ladder, going back to November 2017. Per Daily Herald story.

  Mundelein and Libertyville will share a ladder tower fire truck in what officials says is a common-sense way to improve efficiency and lower costs for taxpayers in both towns.

  Under terms of an agreement approved Monday by the Mundelein village board and expected to be accepted Tuesday in Libertyville, the specialized piece of equipment would be available to Mundelein for an annual fee that will offset maintenance and future replacement costs.

  Under terms of the five-year pact, Mundelein would pay $14,000 for the first year with an annual increase of 3 percent thereafter. Libertyville’s ladder tower truck and trained personnel would be needed about five times a year. The villages provide automatic mutual aid for structure fires through a separate 2015 agreement.

  Libertyville is only 2 miles farther from the Mundelein’s primary high-rise, most commercial properties and can access the east side of the village without being blocked by railroad tracks.

  Why did Mundelein get rid of this? Not a very old rig?
