The Fox River & Countryside Fire/Rescue District has been added to the site. Bill Friedrich submitted images of the stations and apparatus. The new department went ‘live’ earlier this year with two stations, full-time personnel, and apparatus which is both new and used. The new apparatus includes two Medtec ambulances, and an engine plus two tankers on IHC 4400 chassis from Alexis. Used apparatus includes an ambulance from the Morrison Hospital, a small rescue from Rock Island, and engines from North Park and Bartlett.
