It’s been several days since there has been a new posting to the site, but travel and other duties have grabbed all of the available time. Within the next few days though, several updates will be completed. Contributors have been busy photographing apparatus and it takes a bit of time to collate everything and place all the images into the proper spots.  Here though is some of what is coming:

• Jack Connors has submitted several CFD updates as well as the Mundelein Fire Department apparatus

• Karl Klotz has sent some updated CFD apparatus images plus he has updated photos of several CFD houses

• Hank, Karl, Bill and Larry (along with George Reichardt and Jeff Schielke) visited all 10 Naperville stations last week and the entire department will be updated and completed by the end of this week

• Larry has several Palatine and Rolling Meadows apparatus shots that are missing from the site. These were taken on-scene at a large commercial fire last Friday
