From the Mundelein Fire Swap Meet sponsored by Northern llinois Fire Museum
After much discussion, it has been decided to cancel the 2020 Mundelein Swap Meet. You health and safety are our first concern. Also with the uncertainty of the school being open( the school is doing remote e-learning instead of in school), it is looking like we will not be able to use the high school.We look forward to see all of you at the 2021 Swap Meet. Stay safe everyone.

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Some Elk Grove Village Fire Department personnel and equipment moved into temporary quarters Monday at the Rainbow Falls Waterpark & Community Center as renovations are about to begin at Fire Station 7. Under an arrangement between the village and park district, Squad 7 and Ambulance 7 will respond from the Rainbow Falls facility while a $2 million renovation project takes place at the main firehouse, 101 Biesterfield Road. Park district officials chose not to open the water park this summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All other personnel and equipment will be temporarily relocated to Elk Grove’s two other stations. The Rainbow Falls location will not be open to the public.
Construction is expected to begin in August at the 1980s-era fire station on Biesterfield. Upgrades will include a new roof above the living quarters, replacement of the heating and cooling system, replacement of the apparatus floor for improved drainage, fresh paint, and new LED light bulbs. The project is scheduled to be complete in early November.
