Newport Township FPD X-tanker privately owned

This from Jeff Rudolph:

I drove past this rig Tuesday morning, Newport‘s old Tender 1463. Sold to Tempel farms of Wadsworth  sometime ago, and used to haul water around the farm. Today was being used to water some crops. Jeff

At 9:30AM, Tim Olk tells us that:

The Lyons Fire Department is on the scene of an open 60psi gas feeder line that is burning at 43rd Street and 1St Street. Companies were returning from a fire in Riverside and saw an arcing wire … Bedford Park has a tower ladder on-scene and they are waiting for gas company crews to mitigate the situation.
