This from Drew Gresik:

I got some nice rig shots of rigs from the South Suburbs at the 2-11 Fire and Haz-Mat Box at 900 E 14th Street in Chicago Heights. All these rigs are currently missing from the site so feel free to use them when the next update comes around. Thanks again!

Crete Township Fire Protection District Station

The Crete Township Fire Protection in MABAS Division 27has three stations. They have a variety of engines made my Pierce, E-ONE, Luverne, and Alexis. The ambulances are from Medtec and they also have three tankers (tenders), the newest of which was completed in 2011 by Alexis on a Freightliner M2 chassis.

In 1995, Crete Township was one of several south suburban fire departments to order an engine from Luverne on an HME 1871 chassis. Two of these had the largest extended and raised cabs that were offered; one went to Alsip and the other is still on the roster for Crete Township with a fully enclosed pump operator panel.
