This from Steve Redick:

The 6600 Bl of Monticello today…looks like a good coupla rooms on the 2nd floor…but was way past out when I arrived….a good operation all around from what I could see…I did see a member get moved into the Skokie ambo…didn’t appear serious but I don’t know if he was transported or not. Finally got some shots of the new Evanston truck, and some shots of the Skokie tower post rebuild. The Skokie truck had a real good spot at the mouth of the alley…rig positioned very well for ladder and equipment access.
