I took in the 2-11 in Blue Island at 13039 Western Ave on 9-7-23. I arrived well after the fire was knocked, but got some pretty good apparatus photos.

As seen around … Dolton

This from Wayne VanBeveren:

Hello! I found the former Alsip ambulance I’ve attached photos of behind Dolton Station 16. It was donated to Dolton FD by Alsip
 
Also, they have an E-One engine on order and are also in the process of acquiring a former Evergreen Park engine. They’ll be getting rid of the tower ladder and both Sutphen engines.
