  Speaking of Skokie, does anyone have a pic of the new BN 16 or new Freightliner ambulance?

  Thank you; I was reading their Board of Trustees meeting minutes earlier & found out that they are starting the process of specing out a new engine to replace the current E59 as well, but it’s still very early.

  cmk that I don’t know the only reason I found out about the ambo is because they had just got the pu a year or so b4 I had gone and I said I love the newer f series and dc rich said then u will like our new ambo cant wait to see it I will keep u informed if I hear anything

  Harry–I know DC Rich, so it is very reliable.
  Did they say whether or not they were staying with just two ambulances? Or did they say if they were going to keep all three ambulances & have a true reserve, since Glenside runs both of their ambulances the majority of the time.

  cmk when I was therein 2018-19 dc rich told me that they were getting the ford so it is from a reliable source

  not Glenside related but just to see who knows how many ambulannces does Skokie have froneline and reserve

  That’s probably a good guess. It’s either replacing the current Medic 59, which the oldest of the two Internationals they have, & the current M58 will get renumbered to 59, or they are going to keep all three ambulances and have a true reserve. Since Harry was there more recently than me, he might know what they are doing officially. I am a former member of that department and still continue to follow them on a semi-regular basis. It was where I got my start.

  I am guessing this will be Medic 58?
