I had the opportunity to take pictures of the new Pierce Enforcer for Marengo. Also it appears that Marango may have purchased Gurnee’s old E-One squad.
Sincerely,

Excerpts from the nwherald.com:
The Marengo Fire Protection District honored an old tradition recently with a dedication ceremony for a new fire engine.
The department bought a 2017 Pierce Enforcer for $460,000 which will replace Engine No. 1141 under the same number. The former No. 1141 will become a reserve engine – replacing a 1988 reserve engine – and be kept at Marengo Fire Station 2, at Routes 23 and 176.
A wet-down ceremony consists of taking water from the old engine and washing the new one. Firefighters then push the new engine into the station. The tradition comes from the horse-drawn era, and it has been carried on in departments nationwide since, Lt. Noel Gaines said.
“Everybody knows fire service is big on tradition,” he said. “The wipe down ceremony was such that when horses and buggies came back they would wash the horses down, and if they got a new piece of equipment, they would take the water from the old engine and sort of bless it.”
“We try to set a precedence for [following] tradition,” he said.

Excerpts from the Northwestherald.com:
A Marengo home explosion destroyed a neighboring home, left eight to 10 more houses uninhabitable and sent two people to the hospital around 5 a.m. Sunday.
Marengo Fire Chief Bob Bradbury said at least 30 additional homes in the neighborhood were affected by debris. A damage estimate isn’t yet available.
The owners of the home where the explosion initiated weren’t home at the time of the incident, but there were animals inside. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. Foul play isn’t suspected at this time.

Excerpts from ABC7chicago.com:
A house explosion damaged dozens of homes in Marengo early Sunday morning at about 5 a.m. in the 500-block of 7th Ave. At least two homes were destroyed when firefighters got to the scene, Marengo’s fire chief said.
Four people were rescued from the second floor of a house next door. Two people were hospitalized with minor injuries.
A total of four homes were damaged by the fire and more than 50 other homes sustained damage from the explosion. The Marengo fire chief said homes two blocks away from the explosion were damaged and several homes were rocked from their foundations.
