This from Michael Maida:

There have been several postings on the website recently regarding the Peoria FD. I had an opportunity to go to there recently and was able to see some of what has been talked about. I stopped by Peoria Fire stations 3, 11, and 15. Station 3 is home to Engine 3 and Truck 3. Station 11 is home to Engine 11 and Rescue 1. Engine 11 and Rescue 1 are jump companies as are Engine 3 and Truck 3. They have a mixed fleet of KME, Pierce, and E-One. Engine 11 is back in service in that neighborhood after 20 years.

This from Larry Shapiro:

I was in Elk Grove Village on Wednesday and stopped by the two new fire stations to grab some photos. The landscaping was just beginning at Station 10, but Station 8 was largely completed in the front. All of the rear bay doors have a second set of screen doors that run on the same track as the solid overhead doors. One can be seen in the photo. This allows a breeze into the station while still securing the station from intruders and debris blown around by the wind.
