This from Larry Shapiro:
Winnetka has a new unit for Ambulance 28. This was reportedly the second to last unit to be built by Medtec. It is a Type I on a 2012 IHC 4300 chassis and carries Medtec shop order #26264-1.
The previous unit assigned as Ambulance 28R was a 2000 Type I Road Rescue on a Freightliner FL70 chassis. That unit was sold to the Antioch Fire Department.

Some updated information on the Evanston fleet:
- Here are the current Ambulance 21 (314) and Ambulance 23 (316). (The A23 on the site is gone.)
- There is a new Battalion 21 buggy, a 2013 Chevy Tahoe. It will be outfitted in the next couple weeks and placed into service.
- The fire investigations rig is at station 25.
- The former Engine 25 (1994 Dash) is now numbered E25R.
- The Tele-Squrt is now not numbered, and housed at Station 24 as a spare engine.

This from Martin Nowak:
In the past, I’ve mentioned that Bedford Park was down from 3 ambulances to 2. Former Ambulance 714 is a 2007 Ford E-450/Medtec. It was the major flood of 2011 when Bedford Park was responding into Summit, under the viaduct right before 63rd. Tower 709 and former A714 were both damaged in flood water. 709 was repaired and 714 was later disposed of. Pictures of it sitting behind Station 1 OOS. Today stands a small garage.
The current A714 is a 2003 International/Medtec which was 712 at the time they had the 2007 Ford. Changes since the picture on Chicagoareafire include a new LED light bar. Also Tower 709 has newer LED’s since the pictures added to he site.

The Mount Prospect Fire Department received a new Type I Medtec ambulance for station 13. Again, one of the last Medtec units prior to the shutdown, this is on a Ford F-450 chassis with job #25913-1, and fleet #527. This will replace the current Ambulance 13 (fleet #524) which will go into reserve status at Station 14. The Type III Taylor-Made unit (fleet #521) will be disposed of.
This is the first Type I unit for Mount Prospect.
