Currently, there isn’t much to post about area departments on this blog and we are at somewhat of a standstill with regard to adding new departments. We are constantly looking for items to publish about area fire departments, apparatus, events and updates. Please consider this an open invitation and request for submissions of information, links, photos and any other relevant or interesting information that we can pass along to visitors. We are happy to acknowledge the source of any submissions, or if you prefer not to be mentioned, just let us know.
So, thank you in advance … you the visitors and readers for submitting information to keep this blog current and interesting.

Hi, my name is Eugene. I am a fan of the Chicago Fire Department. It is the best department in the midwest. I was wondering when the new aerial ladders will be delivered to Chicago?

Brandon,
Thanks for the invitation – we’ll be contacting you to take you up on your gracious offer – a couple of us would like to come out so we’ll compare open dates on our calendars before getting in touch with you.

Hello Jacob. I have had the opportunity to photograph all the apparatus of the Hebron-Alden-Greenwood FPD over the years. I’ll be sending the current apparatus and station photos to this site shortly. We were just there a few months ago and updated our photos.

Hi, my name is Sam. I am a “fire chaser”. My dad is a former firefighter/photographer. I am pursuing a career in firefighting being that it’s a family tradition and I love the fire service. I enjoy your website everyday because it gives me knowledge of what apparatus is like, what they are doing, where they can be found, and additional fire news. My father helps me be a “fire chaser” because I’m 15 years old, and he’s showing me the ropes. On our free time, we visit fire stations to get better acquainted with the personnel and the apparatus for special purposes. I would love it if you would let me post my pictures on your site, or show me how to do my own. We can help you accomplish MABAS Division 24 and possibly 27. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Sam Casella
Homewood, Il.

Sam, we’d love to see some of your photos … pick something that you’ve got that we don’t have and please send it to us. As regards your own website, try Flickr as a means to post your own photos where others can see them or any other photo sharing web service.
