This from Michael Maida:
I attended the McHenry Township Fire District Station 5 grand opening. The station will have a engine, ambulance, brush truck, and two trailers. The engine is a 2009 Pierce. There will be 5 firefighters/paramedics on duty at a time. I had the opportunity to witness the flag raising ceremony and the engine backing into quarters. The neat thing with this station is whenever they get a call, there are red LED light strips in the ceilings that light up for 90 seconds.
Engine 42 was also at the open house, I was able to stop by station 1 and get a picture of the new Ambulance 51,
Sincerely,
Mike Maida

While I was at the open house, Engine 42 responded to a EMS run. I was told they receive around 5,000 calls a year and 80% are EMS.
