Buffalo Grove police officers and firefighters were sent to a motor vehicle accident today (6/29/20) in the east bound lanes of Lake-Cook Road just west of Raupp Boulevard in a construction zone. A car traveling westbound reportedly crossed into the eastbound lanes and collided with a large dump truck carrying asphalt. Firefighters extricated the driver of the car who was entrapped and later transported to a hospital in serious condition. The man, later identified as John Rodgers IV, 49, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The truck driver was unharmed. The roadway remained closed to allow an accident investigation team to reconstruct the incident.

From the Pierce Facebook page:
The Warrenville Fire Department is adding their first custom Pierce apparatus to their fleet. This #Enforcer pumper will be used as a paramedic unit and was built with EMS in mind. The slide-out compartment behind the cab is accessible from the inside and outside for easy access to gear and equipment. The 750-gallon water tank and pump panel heaters are new for the department and will help during the harsh winters in #WarrenvilleIL.
