McHenry FPD updates

Aug 26

Posted by Admin in Fire Service News, Fire Truck photos | 4 Comments

Karl Klotz, Steve Redick, and Larry Shapiro visited all five stations of the McHenry Township FPD last week to update the site. In addition to new units, this is one of many area departments that is in the process of renumbering apparatus.

Among the new and updated units photographed; there were three ambulances, two engines, two tenders, and a new boat.

McHenry went from a one tender department to a three tender department with a tender in all but the downtown station. The new twin 3,500-gallon tenders were built by US Tanker on IHC 7500 chassis with extended cabs.
Tender 1272 is at Station 2, and Tender 1274 is at Station 4.

Two Pierce engines have been put into service since our last update and one was moved. The new engines are on the Impel XM chassis instead of the Velocity.

These are assigned as Engine 41 at Station 1 and Engine 43 at Station 3.
Engine 44 at Station 4 was formerly Engine 10 at Station 1.
There are two more engines on order, each coming in six month intervals.

This from Drew Gresik:

Took in a Working Fire at 9150 S 87th Street in Hickory Hills. Got there well after the fire was out but got some nice rig shots. It appeared North Palos Engine 813 arrived first-in with Truck 31 from Roberts Park. Roberts Park Engine 31 was in reserve engine 3R, and Roberts Park Ambulance 32 was in reserve 3R. Here are a couple my shots. Thanks.

Bedford Park Fire Department apparatus update

Jun 10

Posted by Admin in Ambulance photos, Fire Truck photos | 3 Comments

This from Martin Nowak:

In the past, I’ve mentioned that Bedford Park was down from 3 ambulances to 2. Former Ambulance 714 is a 2007 Ford E-450/Medtec. It was the major flood of 2011 when Bedford Park was responding into Summit, under the viaduct right before 63rd. Tower 709 and former A714 were both damaged in flood water. 709 was repaired and 714 was later disposed of. Pictures of it sitting behind Station 1 OOS. Today stands a small garage.

The current A714 is a 2003 International/Medtec which was 712 at the time they had the 2007 Ford. Changes since the picture on Chicagoareafire include a new LED light bar. Also Tower 709 has newer LED’s since the pictures added to he site.
