Jeff Rudolph visited the Lake Villa Fire District recently and submitted updated images of several ambulances, two of which have been repainted to match the fire district colors. The units were previously owned and purchased by the Lake Villa Rescue Squad and were blue and white. The rescue squad has since merged under the fire district and all apparatus is red. Refer to the previous post HERE and HERE for much of the information.
One of the repainted units is this 2010 Ford E-450/Osage ambulance in Lake Villa running as Ambulance 241R. Jeff Rudolph photo

Jeff Rudolph reports that Antioch had a fire yesterday at 208 Birchwood. The fire came in at 1430 hours and companies found a 2-car detached garage which was fully involved. Fire extended to a camper and a boat in the driveway. All was a total loss. Mutual aid to the scene was from Fox Lake, Lake Villa, and Round Lake. The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical.

New Ambulances in Lake Villa
Mar 20
The Lake Villa Fire District received two new ambulances. They are Type III units built in 2011 by Osage on Ford E-450 chassis. According to information received by Jeff Rudolph, neither of them are numbered yet and both identical. As best as can be determined, Ambulance 243, the 05′ was retired. Old Ambulance 242 became Ambulance 244, Ambulance 244 became Ambulance 245. It is not clear where old Ambulance 241 went. The two new units will be assigned to Ambulances 241 and 242.
As reported HERE, the new ambulances are painted red. This is a departure from the current ambulance fleet that is painted blue and white and was purchased as part of the Lake Villa Rescue Squad.

The new ambulance will replace the current, 2010 Osage built ambulance that is assigned to Ambulance 242. This unit is being reassigned as Ambulance 244 which is the second ambulance out of Station 2.
