This from Mark J. Gaunky, Deputy Fire Marshal, Mundelein Fire Department:
The former Sugar Grove tower was delivered last week. We hope to have it in-service within a month as we are expecting our new engine about that same time. We do have a few offers on the 1995 aerial, unsure where that will be going at this time.

More from Mark J. Gaunky, Deputy Fire Marshal, Mundelein Fire Department:
Here is a copy of the new engine, we are expecting delivery in late September or October. As I stated in my last message this will replace our 1992 Pierce which has already gone to a broker, it will be numbered the same 4311.

This from Mark J. Gaunky, Deputy Fire Marshal, Mundelein Fire Department:
- Just wanted to give you guys a heads up we are in the process of purchasing the old Sugar Grove tower ladder. It is currently in Harrisburg PA, where they are giving it the once over and making some minor repairs, new tires, etc. It will be delivered via semi-truck sometime this month. This will replace our 1995 Pierce ladder, which was slated for replacement next year.
- We have ordered a new KME pumper, which should be delivered sometime this summer. I will forward the final drawing when we get it. This replaces our 1992 Pierce, which has already been sold to a broker.
- Lastly, we will be ordering a new replacement ambulance by then end of summer.

Here are some photos I took of the large brush fire today, (4/9/14) in Grayslake. Happened near Rt 60 & Behm Lane. Numerous acres involved, multiple departments were called to scene and for change of quarters. Took an hour and a half to completely extinguish the fire and clear the scene. I also have a picture of Mundelein Ambulance 431 at Grayslake’s Station #3 change of quarters across the street.Sam Borcia
