In Division 20, the Norwood Park Fire Protection District has been added to the site. Norwood Park operates out of one station on Lawrence Avenue in Harwood Heights. Their fire district covers Harwood Heights, Norridge, and Norwood Park Township which is unincorporated Cook County. They have a large station with three Medtec ambulances, two Pierce engines, a Pierce tower ladder, a command car, utility pickup, and the MABAS Division 20 Haz Mat Unit #749.

The department is expecting delivery of a new Pierce Impel engine in April and will be selling what is currently Engine 101, a 1996 Pierce Saber engine.

I also noticed that in the description for one of the missing units, it says “Engine 106” but the description is for a Ford Ambulance. Also, for the International ambulance, the model is 4300 not 5300. Hope this helps.

thanks – that’s what happens without proof reading – corrections have been made

You are correct Martin. It is a 2010 chassis. We’ll get the correction taken care of.

A 105 is not a 2007.
