This from Kevin Griffin:
I got a shot of Midlo's ambulance. I believe it is an X-Naperville ambulance. I think it's the X- medic 1 which is a 2001 ihc/Horton

Now we have photos from Larry Shapiro of the new Ambulance 2 for Niles along with some additional information.
- The current unit assigned to Ambulance 2 (2008 IHC 4300/2009 Medtec Type I) has already been renumbered as Ambulance 3, where it will be assigned.
- The current Ambulance 3 will become a reserve piece
- The current Ambulance 3R will reportedly be disposed of

When the new Engine 2 goes into service:
- the current Engine 2 will move to Engine 3

- the current Engine 3R is being disposed of
A correction on the specs for Engine 2 from the previous post:

This from Martin Nowak:
In the past, I’ve mentioned that Bedford Park was down from 3 ambulances to 2. Former Ambulance 714 is a 2007 Ford E-450/Medtec. It was the major flood of 2011 when Bedford Park was responding into Summit, under the viaduct right before 63rd. Tower 709 and former A714 were both damaged in flood water. 709 was repaired and 714 was later disposed of. Pictures of it sitting behind Station 1 OOS. Today stands a small garage.
The current A714 is a 2003 International/Medtec which was 712 at the time they had the 2007 Ford. Changes since the picture on Chicagoareafire include a new LED light bar. Also Tower 709 has newer LED’s since the pictures added to he site.

The Huntley FPD in MABAS Division 5 has two new units coming early in 2013.
The first will be a Type I ambulance from Medtec on an IHC 4300 chassis to match Ambulance 953.
The second unit coming is a 103′ rear-mount Spartan ERV aerial. This will replace Quint 983 and will have a 2,000-GPM pump (rated at 1,500-GPM) and a 500-gallon water tank on a Spartan chassis with a Gladiator cab and Evolution trim package.
