New Ambulances coming to Darien-Woodridge

The Darien-Woodridge FPD is expecting delivery of two new ambulances in the fall. Moving away from the medium-duty chassis, they have ordered two Type I units on Ford F-Series chassis from Medtec. Both units will be painted red.

Homewood Acres receives engine

This from Keith Grzadziel:

I just passed the Homewood Acres station and spotted another “new” engine parked alongside the X-Burbank Mack. It is the X-Plainfield Engine 1912, a Ford C8000/Pierce. Not sure of the year or GPM but I know it has a 1000 gal capacity. Sorry about the crude pics I attached, but its a sneak peek. Have a safe holiday weekend!
