Lockport updates
Sep 27
Lockport Lt. John Matthews keeps us current and up-to-date with his department. He recently sent us pictures of Lockport‘s new 2010 IHC/Medtec ambulance at station1 and the new brush unit as well. John informs us that the old ambulance 1 has become reserve ambulance 1 now at station6, and the previous reserve unit is gone.
Karl Klotz recently visited the Troy FPD in Shorewood, IL and reports that this department which has long been known for lime green apparatus is changing their color scheme. New apparatus and those that are repainted will boast a black roof over a dark red (maroon).
