This from Larry Shapiro:
I stopped by the Northfield fire station and saw that they’ve changed Engine 29 to match the new Squad 29, with a black roof and new graphics. I’ve included photos of the previous graphics and the original delivery graphics.

This from Mike Maida:
Attached is a picture of Bloomingdale Tender 21, the 2011 Impel Pumper Tanker. I saw this rig out and about and thought that this might be of interest as it has to do with the re-numbering of the rigs in DuPage County.
Sincerely
Mike Maida

This from Larry Shapiro:
Alexis delivered Long Grove‘s new Tanker on Tuesday and I stopped by to get some photos. Specs are 2013 IHC 4400 – 2013 Alexis 1250/1850/50A – so#2204
This is replacing Engine 55, not the current Tanker 55. The new unit may run as Tanker 55 or Tanker 56 depending on the situation.
