In MABAS Division 21, the North Palos Fire Protection District has been added to the site. The district runs out of three stations, one of which is the former Worth Fire Department which became part of the North Palos district in January of 2009. The Worth personnel, station and apparatus were merged into or became part of the North Palos Fire Protection District.

Ok lets see if we can get this right…
The 1999 International/Road Rescue that was Worth FD Amb. 6712 was changed to North Palos FPD Amb. 842 after the merger.

Amb. 822 is a McCoy-Miller not a Lifeline.

Dennis- The current Amb 822 is the former Worth Amb 6702. The lightbar was switched out, the top was painted black and it was restriped, relettered, and renumbered several months after the merger. North Palos’ existing ambos were all Osage prior to the merger as this is a Lifeline.
Martin- Car 806 is a 1998 Expedition that was originally black. When the former chief received a new Expedition, his unmarked 1998 was repainted black/red with lettering and was assigned to Battalion 8 until the 05 was delivered.
The former Worth Amb 6712 was Reserve Amb 832 until it was disposed of upon delivery of the current Amb 802.

Amb. 822 is NOT the X-Worth rig.

They have a suv sitting in the station that looks like that white Ford but it carries NP’s colors. By any chance they didn’t repaint the unit?

Worth Car 6700 was stripped & given to their public works. Car 806 was once assigned to Battalion 8 and is now a station car. Ambulance 822 was formerly Worth ambulance 6702, which was repainted and relettered.
