MABAS 21,
Yes they still have Squad 241 and they may call it Engine 241. I saw it a few weeks ago and it looked like it got a refurb. Engine 243 is still kicking at station 3 but I believe they may of gotten a new one for there. I also say that they got a new brush truck for Station 1, which is a jeep not sure of the year.

Jeff:
Some Lake Villa questions. What happened to the former brush unit, Utility 243, a 2011 or newer F-350 with a Reading or Stahl body? Was it reassigned? Does Lake Villa still have Squad 241? And was Engine 241 reassigned to 243 or are those twins? Thanks in advance for your answers.
