From Village of Villa Park, Illinois, Government on Facebook:

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 Eric Haak:

The Hillside Fire Department had a second alarm on Sunday morning at about 4:45am. The fire was in a 25×100 commercial building that had 1-story in the front and 2-stories in the back. I was unable to get to the front of the building so here is are images of Schiller Park’s truck and a Villa Park engine working in sector C.
