Jan 18

On Monday, January 11, 2016, the Deerfield-Bannockburn FPD had a wet-down to place their new Squad 19 into service. As the inclement, frigid temperatures were an obstacle to using the water outside, several members of the gathering used a hardline inside the house once the firefighters and officers pushed the new rig into the station.

Also during the wet-down, the squad was dedicated to the memory of Deerfield-Bannockburn FF/PM Brad Hytoff. His family was on-hand and his parents placed a plaque on the driver’s door for the dedication.

This from Larry Shapiro:

I was one of over hundred people that said goodbye to a friend today, Deerfield-Bannckburn Firefighter Brad Hytoff. Known to many in the fire service, Brad was also a lifelong fire buff and fire service aficionado. Family, friends, police officers, and firefighters gathered to pay their respects to an 18-year veteran of the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District.
