This from Dan McInerney:

Today is the anniversary of the Stockyards fire, the Ankum/Stringer fire (CFD LODD vacant bldg fire) and the Keokuk triple LODD fire. While the Keokuk fire is not local, it still stands out as a triple LODD that NIST did a fire modeling study on

This from Chris Holmes:

I wanted to share photos of vehicles used by the Elgin Community College Fire Science & Safety program. I took them back in November of this year. They include 3 pieces of apparatus.
Also I recently found out Waubonsee Community College has an engine and an ambulance.  I will work on getting those photos as well.
