From frcfr.org:

Much anticipated, we took delivery today of our new ambulance from Alexis Fire Equipment. The Type 1 ALS vehicle is made by McCoy Miller and will go in service within the next few weeks. This unit replaces Ambulance 1853 which was taken out of service in June due to mechanical issues.

This from Wayne Stuart for #TBT:

In the early 70’s the GFD took over the EMS transport service. Prior to that the local funeral homes handled all ambulance transports. The original ambulances were donated from the funeral homes. The FD started the EMS service with 4 ambulances, two BLS and two ALS. This was the first custom ambulance to be put in service. It was a 1974 Dodge/ National. It was assigned to Medic 501 an ALS ambulance at Station 1.

This from Chi-town Fire Photos:

Had the opportunity to take pictures of the Bedford Park Fire Department apparatus. Here are the updated station assignments including their new mini pumper/squad. I was told the new squad will be staffed with personnel on shift when manning is at their maximum. It will not be a jump company with any fire apparatus, but will be chasing medical calls and all fire runs.
