This from Jeff Braun Jr. COUNTY-WIDE FIRE PHOTOGRAPHY:

I was driving past Widaman Sign Co. in Berwyn, and noticed a mid 90’s E-One pumper parked in the side parking lot. After closer investigation, apparently this unit is being refurbished at Widaman Sign Co., I’m not sure if the work was already done, but the apparatus is labeled “Brownell and Sons Motorsports” with no other fire dept. insignias. I’m hoping that one of the many contributers of Chicago Area Fire could find an answer as to what department or who this apparatus belongs to and what its current use is. Thanks!

This from Jeff Braun Jr. , COUNTY-WIDE FIRE PHOTOGRAPHY:

At approximately 1730 hours on Friday July 15th, 2016, the Berwyn Fire Department received numerous calls about a structure fire at 1236 Cuyler Ave. As the first units arrived on scene they reported they had a fully-involved structure fire. Quint 9Q1 was moved to the front of the building in order to utilize their master stream and extinguish the bulk of the fire on the delta side, and Truck Co. 904 was positioned just behind them in order to extinguish the fire on the alpha side of the building. North Riverside Engine Co. 808 was auto-aid to the fire, and was positioned on 13th Street. At around 1800 hours, Forest Park Engine Co. 402 was dispatched to the scene, backed down Cuyler Ave. and the members proceeded to bring their tools to the fire building. Thanks.

This from Jeff Braun, Jr.

The Lyons Fire Department was out in force on Fathers Day (6/19/16), as they were on standby at a local auto show. They brought out Engine Co. 1312, Medic 1314, and Division 10’s Mobile Ventilation Unit which was being used as a Cooling Station as the unit was set to DECON mode to help everyone cool off on this 95 degree day. Chief Nord’s vehicle, Car 1301, was also on hand with its hood open so that the public can see what the inside of a fire chief’s vehicle looks like. Thanks!

This from Jeff Braun Jr.:

These three photos are of the Berwyn Fire Department’s new Engine Co. 902. This rig is a 2016 Pierce Enforcer PUC pumper that was delivered Tuesday morning (5/17/16) at 9:30 AM. ThecChiefs mentioned that the rig should go into service sometime in Mid-June. I would like to congratulate the department on their new delivery and thank the BFD and Chief O’Halloran for allowing me take take these photos!
