The Mokena FPD (Division 19) has opened their third station – a temporary site – at 11215 w. 83rd Place. With this new location, there has been some shifting and a reassignment of apparatus. Ambulance 6634 and Engine 6631 are assigned to the new station. The photos reflect their previous numbering (as Ambulance 6624 and Engine 6621). Engine 66R is now running as Engine 6621 out of station 2 where there is no longer an ambulance. All three stations photos are from Bill Friedrich who also provided the updated rig placements.

The Lockport Township FPD in Will County (Division 19) has been added to the website. All 6 stations are up and almost complete. Thanks to Karl Klotz for all of the photos. Anyone interested in ARFF units will enjoy browsing through this suburban department that maintains 2 Amertek Crash Rescue Trucks.
The department is also ordering a 2010 IHC Horton ambulance to replace ambulance 1. The new unit is expected next summer.
