Deerfield-Bannockburn firefighters were called to 401 Kelburn Road around noon on Tuesday (2/4/20) for more in the building. Engine 20 arrived and reported a fire in a 2nd floor apartment. They pulled a line to attack the fire which was held in check and extinguished with the help of the building’s sprinkler system. Mutual and automatic aid units were held up shortly after being dispatched.

I agree that those are nice shots of Deerfield’s apparatus. It is interesting to see their truck that was rebuilt a few years ago.
To my understanding, Truck 20 is a jump company with Ambulance 20. If the ambulance was on a run then the truck couldn’t respond as they only had Engine 20 and the battalion chief in station 20. If that still is the case then the ambulance in the photo was Ambulance 19.
It is also interesting that Truck 20 is the closest truck to Highland Park. Most of the time Highland Park Truck 33 is not in service and they depend on Truck 20 to be the first truck into Highland Park. They might as well change the sign board to Deerfield/Highland Park. If they still have to use the manpower off of Ambulance 20 to run the truck then it probably only runs with a crew of two which really is pretty bad.

Great shots! I like the DASH CF and it’s nice color combo.
