From Danny Nelms:

Ex Lisle-Woodrige FPD squad was in Anderson County KY and now it’s in Graves County KY at Mayfield-Graves County Fire and Rescue. Believe it was a donation after a tornado wiped out the department’s fleet a few years ago.

This from Danny Nelms:

Was in downtown Louisville today (7-7-25) and saw the ex Alsip rig in the quarters of Louisville Engine 5 and Tower Ladder 2. Was told by the on-duty crew that it was being stored at the firehouse until the truck they are going to use the main aerial for is back from a refurbishment about 6 months away.
