It appears that the site is inaccurate for Highland Park Station 34, which lists Engine 34 housed there.

Dan McInerney sent this image of Squad 34.

This from Steve Redick:

Thrift store..over when I arrived. The area was devastated by major flooding..routing and access was very challenging for most units due to closures..Just got a few rig shots..I think there was a Bedford Park unit in the rear but I never made it around that way…

This from Drew Gresik:

This evening (4/17/13), the Berwyn Fire Department responded to a report of a fire at Stanley Avenue and Grove Avenue. First arriving units reported heavy smoke showing from the roof of a 2 story building. The building has businesses on the 1st floor and apartments on the 2nd. 900 took Grove Avenue Command and reported 2 lines were being stretched for an interior attack. Truck 904 had the roof, and Quint 901 was in position for a master stream, but it was not used. Note the new Expedition assigned to Incident Command 900, and the new red and white LED light bar on Engine 902. Here are a few of my photos.
