This from Dan McInerney:

Happened across a drill with members of the 13th Battalion on the 4000 blk of West End, just west of 95’s house. Present were E95 and 113, T26 and 14 drilling under the supervision of the 13th on roof operations. T26 had its main raised and T14 deployed a 40 ladder on the west side of the house. In the background are members of T26 on the roof.

This from Martin Nowak:

Today was the day Roberts Park drove Santa around Justice. I managed to get two videos and two pictures before going to work. The videos will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow, but here is a picture. Don’t forget, tomorrow is the day for Hickory Hills. This tradition was started by the Justice Fire Department.

Huntley FPD awaits new apparatus

The Huntley FPD in MABAS Division 5 has two new units coming early in 2013.

The first will be a Type I ambulance from Medtec on an IHC 4300 chassis to match Ambulance 953.
