Oak Forest Fire Department news (more)

From Oak Forest firefighters union local 3039 Facebook:

Well, we have good news and bad news! Bad news first…we currently do NOT have any Oak Forest fire apparatus “in-service”.
Our neighbors to the west, Village of Tinley Park Public Safety and Orland Fire Protection District, IL are each letting us use an engine to keep from a break in emergency services.
The good news, we’re being told we have allocated funds and a thumbs up to purchase new fire apparatus! We are happy and hoping to move forward with that process as quickly as we can.
