The Dixmoor Fire Department was closed down this morning. Previous articles discussed the decision and correspondence.

Dennis McGuire, Jr. was there this morning as the final announcement was made over the speaker, the tanks were drained, and the door was locked. We expect to have images and audio from Dennis tomorrow.

Radioman911.com has the touching, final salute from MABAS Division 22:

thanks Chris
