This from Chi-town Fire Photos:
Had the opportunity to take pictures of the Bedford Park Fire Department apparatus. Here are the updated station assignments including their new mini pumper/squad. I was told the new squad will be staffed with personnel on shift when manning is at their maximum. It will not be a jump company with any fire apparatus, but will be chasing medical calls and all fire runs.
Station 1 6820 S Archer Road, Bedford Park, Illinois

We run a 20 person shift. Per the CBA our minimum is 14. 4 are allowed off for vacation or Kelly days. This brings staffing to 16 if no one is off sick or injured. We run 1 quint with 3, 1 tower with 3, 1 engine with 3, 2 ambulances with 2 and 1 shift captain in the buggy. If manpower permits, the minipumper will be staffed with 2.
