For those interested in ambulances, Medtec has delivered several area units in 2010. One mentioned in an earlier post and photographed by Karl Klotz went to the Troy FPD, which can be seen HERE. Others include LaGrange Park, Elmwood Park, and a pair of units to South Holland.

Another post will be forthcoming which highlights the dozen or so 2009 deliveries, several of which have been photographed and posted already on this site.

The new addition of the Rosemont Public Safety Department to Division 1 now signifies that all Division 1 departments have been added to this site … with some degree of completion.

Rosemont occupies 2 stations: Sta1 is for Fire Suppression Companies and Sta2 is for EMS units.  They have 5 ambulances in Station 2; #s 167 & 168 are staffed full-time by contract medics and the other 3 units are staffed for large events at the arena.

Rosemont public safety officers are cross-trained as police officers and firefighters and are required to spend time fulfilling both jobs. A rather unique aspect of all Rosemont fire apparatus is that they are equipped with gun lockers to secure the firearms of officers while performing firefighting functions.
