This from Steve Redick:
I took in a job in an area I seldom get to. A full-still response for fire in a double-wide mobile home inside a large trailer park, in the town of Justice, now served by the Roberts Park Fire Protection District. Extreme cold conditions coupled with severe water problems made this an extended job. They used booster tank water from two engines and finally were able to find a working hydrant several hundred feet away. Eventually the tower was set up and used as the collapsed roof area was preventing penetration of ground based exterior streams. All in all a tough job on a miserable day.

they take engine 31 to the trailer parks, don’t really need the truck there.

Ladder 31 oos? I believe the recent minutes for RPFD are looking into a new ambo and possible engine.
Nice to see Tri State as mutual aide for all the times RPFD sends an ambo to Willow Springs. (still an occurrence?).
I think this is the first action shot I’ve seen of the new Bedford tower. It’s sharp.
Sorry about the loss of property. At least no lives were lost and no injuries.
