The Mt. Zion Fire Protection District lost a fire station and apparatus this past May due to a fire. They have rebuilt the station and just took delivery of a new tower ladder.
Their website has photos documenting the entire process of rebuilding from the fire. Photos with details beginning with the fire can be found HERE, followed by demolition, and updates on reconstruction HERE, HERE, and completion of the project HERE.

This is the first of many posts in a new series entitled Where are they now ... where we will follow the re-assignment of area fire department apparatus that finds new life in a new home.

As it turns out, the whereabouts of this unit are as yet unknown.
The Community Fire Company, of New Ringgold, PA owns a Seagrave engine which was NOT originally from Palatine, IL.
