This from Josh Boyajian:

Forest Park companies were dispatched to 7515 w Roosevelt tonight for a reported kitchen fire. Upon arrival, crews found fire showing from the roof of a large, 3-sty, L-shaped apartment building. Command requested a Box Alarm right away. Forest Park 402 made quick entry to the 3rd floor and knocked the main body of fire down pretty quick. Here are some of my photos.

DuPage County fire department numbering (update)

This from CARMA CHICAGO:

Villa Park FD using new numbers on DU-COMM Fire East
Station 1 (unused, AFAIK) is just south of St. Charles Road on Home Avenue. The original West Suburban Fire Rescue Alliance numbering plan for DuPage County does show 81 for station 2 (north) and 82 for station 3 (south) with 83 and 84 being their reserve numbers and no mention of station 1 - but the original plan hasn't been followed much for numbering changes in the last year or so.

Villa Park FD is using new station and rig numbers on DU-COMM Fire East (154.415, 192.8 PL). I heard the tail end of a call where Engine 82 returned to quarters and Medic 81 went to Elmhurst Hospital. I believe they have two active stations and possibly a spare. It would seem that they're using 81 and 82 for their stations and front line rigs - does anyone know what number or numbers they're using for reserve rigs, etc.?

I show 81 for station 1, 82 for station 2, and 83, 84 for reserves. Don't they have an unused/old/semi-used station just south of St Charles in addition to the one near Roosevelt and the other one north of the UPRR?

The following is a list of Du Page County station numbering from CARMA Chicago:
