This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
The former tower ladder from Calumet Park is going in service shortly with the Storey County Fire Department northeast of Carson City, Nevada. I know it was reported before about an oil company buying it so I’m not sure how this relates. The tower is being repainted blue with a white strip to match the department’s colors by Fire Trucks Unlimited.This is a link for updates on it’s progress. Here are a few photos from the work in progress site.Thanks to Garry Kadzielawski for passing on this information.Dennis

Here are the newest rigs for Cal Park. The engine is X-Plainfield, Ind. The SUV was a service vehicle at Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus where they bought the two E-Ones. A 75′ quint is due this month then the tower ladder is going. It has been sold to a oil company near Las Vegas, NV.Dennis

This from Eric Haak:
The Calumet Park Fire Department received a report of a structure on the 12400 block of South Honore at about 1920 hours on Monday evening (7-21-14). Response time for the first engine and truck was less than two minutes. Companies arrived to find the occupants outside and a fair amount of smoke pushing from the front door. Companies made entry and quickly found the seat of the fire to be in a back bedroom. Within three minutes of arrival, the Calumet Fire Department had the fire knocked down and held in check. The fire did not extend to any other rooms or the attic. Posen, Midlothian, Merrionette Park and Riverdale went auto-aid.
