Oak Park is on-track to receive their two new HME Ahrens Fox engines in mid-October. Both engines are on HME 1871 chassis with 3,000-watt Command Lights nested on the roof of the cabs. (a big aide for fire photographers at night-time scenes) Each will have a 1,500-GPM pump, 500 gallons of water, 20 gallons of Class A and 30 gallons of Class B foam. Oak Park Battalion Chief Ron Kobyleski supplied the in-progress photos.

Does anyone know when Evanston is going to put Engine 23 in service? Also, is the tanker Libertyville received lettered and placed into service yet???

Any news on when these new engines are coming in? Haven’t seen them around town.
