Looks pretty sharp. Obviously served well for 20 years and should be a good reserve/spare.

Michael – Currently the frontline rigs (B15, E15, TW15, A15, A45) are all at station 15. All the reserve apparatus are being stored at Hatzalah Chicago’s garage which is just down the street on Lincoln Ave.
The new engine will be getting some minor repairs done and then upfitted with radios before it goes into service. Also, the new battalion vehicle will replace the old dodge sprinter van and the tahoe (1512) will go back to being a staff car/reserve battalion. Both the 1989 Arrow and the sprinter are going to be sold at auction.

The spares are stored offsite, not at 15.

How many rigs are at Station 15? Two engines Two Ambulances, 1 tower and the BC. Everything must be a tight fit at 15.
