Orland Park Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

One person was injured in a Saturday morning fire that damaged a four-unit townhouse in Orland Park, a spokesman for the Orland Park Fire Protection District said.

The fire was reported about 8:30 a.m. on Cameron Parkway, with firefighters observing smoke and fire in a second-floor bedroom window. One person had to be rescued after returning to the burning building and was transported to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox for undisclosed injuries, while a second person was evaluated at the scene but not transported.

A report that a second person was unaccounted for proved to be untrue after firefighters did a search of the four units.

The fire was extinguished in about 20 minutes, with assistance from the Mokena and Homer Township fire protection districts. Fire damage was limited to one unit, which was deemed uninhabitable.

New ambulance for East Joliet FPD

This from Scott Matthews:

At the end of May, we received delivery of a new Ford F-450/Horton ALS ambulance. The new ambulance replaced our reserve ambulance, a 2002 Freightliner/Road Rescue. New Ambulance 52 was placed in service on July 1, 2016 at our Station 52 at 102 E Zarley. The ambulance that was serving as Ambulance 52, a 2007 Ford F-450/Medtec, was moved into a reserve role as Ambulance 53.
