The Broadview Fire Department in MABAS Division 20 covers just under two square miles from one station which was once stacked full of American LaFrance units. Today there are still two American LaFrance units in Broadview, one is a 1982 Century Series engine and the other is a one-of-a-kind Grumman AerialCat tower ladder on a low profile American LaFrance chassis.

Dennis McGuire, Jr. submitted images for this update which includes two ambulances, two engines, the tower ladder, a pickup, and an X-military AM General Humvee.

The Broadview Fire Department received a new a Wheeled Coach Type I ambulance on a F-450 4×4 chassis.

This from Ryan Wyckoff:

Just saw Broadview’s new ambulance in their station this morning. Its a 2012 Ford F-450/Wheeled Coach. Not in service yet. Lettered as Ambulance 218. Old ambulance 218, Ford/Medtec will be taken OOS. Think that one is a 1996 or 1998.

Firefighters rescued several children from the top floor of a three-story building during an extra-alarm fire early this morning in west suburban Broadview, authorities said.
