This from Martin Nowak:
Drove past the place in Crestwood where an individual sells vehicles ranging from fire trucks and ambulances to public works trucks. I saw the former Willow Springs/Tri-State engine. Not sure if its up for sale yet.Engine is a 1996 HME 1871/Luverne.

A few months ago MABAS Division 21 purchased one of the former Willow Springs ambulances for the new fire investigation unit. I believe it was purchased directly through the village, not Tri-State.

The brush truck was decommissioned and public works was using it. Last I seen it was over the summer. It had yellow light bar on top of it.

All equipment was turned over to Tri-State. 2 Engines, 2 Ambulances, a brush truck and a boat.

Who actually sold the engine? Did Willow Springs still own it or was it transferred to Tri State? I vaguely seem to recall that Willow Springs owned.
Somewhat related… I did see in late 2018, Tri State bought the firehouse from Willow Springs.

Oh I’m sure it’s for sale.. Harley Louie.. King of the flippers.. Buys cheap at auction doesn’t do anything to them and then tries to fleece unsuspecting departments…
