Congratulations to Chief Ron Kleinhaus, the Evergreen Park Village Board, and the members of the Evergreen Park Fire Department on the purchase of their new 2022 Wheeled Coach Model 3170F Type III ambulance. This custom ambulance will be built on a Ford E450, 7.3L gasoline chassis and will be another addition to their ALL Wheeled Coach fleet of ambulances. Evergreen Park has been an E-One/ Wheeled Coach customer for many years. They see the value of a dependable product that delivers mission critical durability day in and day out.

From the southern.com:

A Chicago Fire Department paramedic treating a patient inside a hospital emergency room narrowly escaped serious injury when a bullet shattered a window and struck his hat.

According to police, a person in an older model green Buick pulled up to Stroger Hospital on Chicago’s near West Side and opened fire at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday before speeding off. The paramedic was not injured and no arrests have been made as of Sunday morning, police said.

The incident happened about 24 hours after a Chicago police officer was shot in the leg on the city’s South Side. The 30-year-old officer who was shot while she and her partner got out of their squad car to render aid to a man who was lying in the street, was treated at an area hospital and released on Saturday.

The officer was the 12th member of the department to be shot this year and the 46th to be shot at or shot.
