New truck for Norwood Park FPD (still more)

From Pierce mfg FB:

Called the “Island In The City,” Norwood Park Fire Protection District is bringing home their new #Velocity 100’ #AscendantTower. With the help of the aerial platform, the district will be able to tend to their many high-rise buildings. The mid-mount platform was chosen for its maneuverability and better visibility in the front of the truck. Covering 6.5 square miles while responding to 4,000 calls a year, the area is home to more than 25,000 residents.

Joliet Fire Department news

Excerpts from shawlocal.com:

Joliet now has a three city coins. One has the city seal depicting Joliet as the crossroads of Mid-America. Another has the police department seal and the third has the fire department seal – to be used for recognition of police officers and firefighters.

They are for achievements and excellence as opposed to a certificate or a piece of paper.
