New ambulance for Joliet FD
May 20
From the Merrionette Park Fire Department Facebook page:
For Immediate Release
May 20, 2021
The Merrionette Park Fire Department is pleased announce on May 20, 2021 at 7:00am, we upgraded our ambulance to Advanced Life Support. We will now have certified paramedics on shift twenty-four hours a day. This was a collaborative effort to enhance our services to the residents. I would like to thank Mayor Jose Nevarez and the Village Board of Trustees for their support of this program.
The Merrionette Park Fire Department started providing fire-based emergency medical services at a basic life support level in 1967 under Fire Chief Fred Eggert. In the last fifty-four years the Merrionette Park Fire Department has saved countless lives under the Basic Life Support System. Moving forward we will now be able to manage patients using advanced cardiac and respiratory techniques. We will also be able to administrate life saving medication and more efficiently manage the overall care of the patient. We look forward to serving our residents and neighbors with this new upgraded service.

Excerpts from Chicago.cbslocal.com:
Family, friends, and colleagues are remembering Chicago Fire Department paramedic Robert Truevillian, who died of COVID-19 last year. A 20-year CFD veteran, Truevillian worked on Ambulance 71 in the South Deering neighborhood. He had been battling COVID-19 for about a month before he died last December.
Tuesday morning, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and fellow firefighters were on hand as Truevillian’s badge was added to the memorial wall at the Quinn Fire Academy.
Truevillian was 55 years old. He was the third active member of the Chicago Fire Department to die of COVID-19.
From CFD Media on Twitter:
Paramedic in Charge Robert Truevillian was honored and remembered during a badge ceremony today at the Quinn Fire Academy. “True” as he was known, was the third CFD member to have passed due to complications of COVID-19 in December.
