Northfield Truck 29 is still using the 94 eone

I was wondering if Northfield Truck 29 was still using their 1994 E/One rig or are they now using the “Old” Truck 14 (2003 Pierce) as Truck 29 yet?

I happened to drive by this Northbrook station on Dundee during all this. It was a weird scene unfolding. At the time, the fire was out & no smoke, so it wasn’t obvious what was going on. Just a big, empty firehouse with lots of lights/rigs behind it. Made me scratch my head & wonder what was going on. Thanks to this site, questions answered!
