John Tulipano took in a general alarm this afternoon in West Chicago:
Well for once I was in the right place at the right time, I was behind West Chicago Station 1 when the general alarm came in. I followed the (3) buggies and TL6 to the fire.Not much to see, it was some type of fire in a research lab at Ball Seed. Initial reports was an incuibator on the 2nd floor.

The Carol Stream Fire Protection District has taken delivery of a new tower ladder. They are currently undergoing an administrative change which entails renumbering their fleet. As such, the new tower is Tower 28 which replaces Tower 217. Tim Olk submitted images of the new tower ladder as well as the 2-piece squad company which is now Squad 27 and 27A.

When the new tower goes into service, this unit will stay with the department as a reserve piece.
