Troy purchased the property at 748 Jones road (Minooka) a while ago. I believe it was an old church. They have been working on converting it into a station. They have already built a Training tower and have been using the building for their trustee meetings. Romeoville fire academy has been using it to teach classes. Not sure when they plan on staffing it.

Everyone is missing something else here. When did Troy FPD obtain and open a 3rd station?

Something doesn’t seem right for that price. You can purchase a new Type 1 4×4 for the same price or less.

And a year and a half lead time??? That seems long for a rechassis. I know some chassis makers are longer than others so I’d be curious who they went with.

$317K for a RECHASSIS? I’m in the wrong line of work. Holy cow.
