As seen around … Schaumburg

This from Michael Maida:

I recently was able to stop by Schaumburg Station 51 and was able to take these photos of the new Engine 51.

  I wonder why they decided to put more compartment space on this version of Engine 51 as opposed to previous versions which had enclosed ladder storage and fewer compartments.

  Doesn’t Schaumburg, when they get a new engine, rotate the one that is being replaced, to one of the other stations & put the oldest one in reserve?

  I’d love to see the pump hours on them as they get replaced.

  Sebastian they do probably get more use than a lot similar sized departments. You have Woodfield, lots of office buildings, lots of commercial, two interstates, and Golf and Higgins in addition to a population of around 75k. At least they are in a position to get new apparatus often, so many other departments aren’t
