This from Wayne VanBeveren:
I’ve attached a couple photos of a mini-pumper I found at 87th and Western in Evergreen Park. It’s a Pierce on a Ford Ranger chassis. I don’t anything else about it. It does look like someone refurbished the bench seat inside with a “CFD” scramble and it has a sticker on the dash that says “Engine 1 for radio communication. The officer’s side of the pump panel looks like it used to say “JRV.”

Excerpts from the Pantograph.com:
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 24-year-old Nicholas Washington was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter and felony resisting arrest for crashing into and killing an off-duty Illinois firefighter while fleeing from police in the St. Louis area.
In the wake of his death, Korves’ family started a nonprofit Brett’s First Responders aimed at helping the families of emergency personnel killed outside of the line of duty. Korves’ family also sued Washington in St. Louis Circuit Court and reached a settlement.
