This from Mike Summa for #TBT:
For TBT-I took this photo a few years ago in Blue Island. It is an Emergency One 95′ AT. I don’t know the year, specs, nor what happened to this truck. If, anyone knows, please feel free to fill in the blanks.Mike Summa

New Lenox Fire Protection District Fire Station 1. Larry Shapiro photo
In MABAS Division 19, the four stations of the New Lenox Fire Protection District have been added to the site. New Lenox has a combination of career and contract personnel that staff four ambulances, four engines, and a truck. The ambulances are a mixture of Horton and Medtec. The engines are from Pierce and Sutphen, and the truck is a Pierce.
Engine 1631, a 2009 Sutphen Shield Series, was mentioned in a previous post because it was a Sutphen demo unit that spent time at the Joliet Speedway before being purchased by New Lenox.
A few other interesting pieces of apparatus at New Lenox Station 1 include a 1993 Oshkosh TA-3000 ARFF (X-Navy) which is available through MABAS as a tanker or as a foam tender for over-the-road tankers and industrial fires.

New Lenox also purchased a 1971 Oshkosh/Pierce 75′ Snorkel from the Hillsboro Fire Department.
