Gary Fire Department apparatus

This from martin Nowak:

Thank you to Squad546 for allowing me to post his pictures. Here are pictures of Engine 7 and Truck 2. Also info on a new unit. 

  •  Engine 7- 2012 Sutphen Shield, will be assigned to them for a while. These rigs will not fit in the older stations, so the other two are at Engines 13 & 5.
  •  Truck 2. 2012 HME/Ahrens Fox 109′ quint.
 A second 78′ quint will be arriving soon, it will be black/red until repainted blue/red … at least that’s what I’ve been told

New Lenox is added to the site

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.
