Posts Tagged Pierce Impel fire engine

On Monday, the Village of Villa Park celebrated our inaugural push-in ceremony for our newest fire engine. This fire service tradition dates back to the 1800’s when crews returned from calls on horse-drawn equipment and firefighters had to remove the horses and push the equipment back into the bay. Engine 81 is a 2023 Impel Fire Engine and will replace the 26 year old Emergency One Engine 80. Give us a shout if you spot Engine 81 around town!

thanks Martin

This from Chi-town Fire Photos:

Had the opportunity to take pictures of the Bedford Park Fire Department apparatus. Here are the updated station assignments including their new mini pumper/squad. I was told the new squad will be staffed with personnel on shift when manning is at their maximum. It will not be a jump company with any fire apparatus, but will be chasing medical calls and all fire runs.

Apartment fire in Park Ridge, 5-16-17

May 18

Park Ridge firefighters made quick work of fire in a first floor apartment at 2300 Windsor Mall on Tuesday (5/16/17). Units arrived to find residents evacuating and reporting fire in one unit. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 for the working fire but the additional companies were released shortly after arriving.
