And from Larry Shapiro:

When I previously mentioned that the new squad for Montgomery & Countryside was the only northern Illinois rig on display this year, I had overlooked the new engine for Mokena in the Alexis booth. Thanks Josh.

Took in this Still and Box at around 6am this Saturday. Engine Co. 115 was the 1st engine on scene and found heavy smoke inside of an unoccupied, one-sty, 150×100 grocery store. Upon entry the fire was found to be in the loading dock area with no structural involvement.
