This from Martin Nowak:

New Lenox looking to send out an ambulance for re-chassis.

They also received new Tahoes.

NEW LENOX FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING JULY 17, 2023
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PUBLIC MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE NEW LENOX FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, COUNTY OF WILL, HELD AT FIRE STATION #1, 261 E. MAPLE STREET, NEW LENOX, ILLINOIS, NI SAID DISTRICT AT 6:00 P.M. ON MONDAY THE 17TH DAY OF JULY 2023.

FIRE CHIEF’S REPORT
The new ambulance we purchased 2 years ago will be in service this week.
The 3 Tahoe’s are in. The 2 chief’s are in service, the BC one is getting lettering.
Budget for 2024 has started so we are working with the Battalion Chiefs on that. Contract negotiations are coming up.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion/Possible Action – Ambulance Remount
In 2015 we started to re-chassis ambulances to keep up with the vehicle replacement schedule. We would send an ambulance to Lifeline and have them strip it down to the bare metal. Everything would be replaced the flooring, seat cushions, wiring, HVAC.

The benefit of sending it to Lifeline is there will be a lifetime warrantee on the box. The HGAC pricing is $277,976.00. This is a savings of $57,000.00 from purchasing a new vehicle. This will come out of the 2024 budget; accountant James Howard recommends paying
cash.
A motion was made byTrustee Difiori seconded by Trustee Scanlan to approve the ambulance remount for est .$277,976.00.

This from Colton Latham:

New Lenox Fire Protection District Truck 61 has been out of service for a few months now waiting for parts. In the meantime, New Lenox has been using their new-to-them engine. It is a 2006 Pierce Enforcer and was formerly Manhattan Fire Protection District Engine 81. New Lenox purchased it from Manhattan around July of 2022. It is now the current frontline out of station 61 and will possibly be the reserve engine.

In other New Lenox news, the Sutphen engine that was at 63 is being torn apart and has been sold to a private buyer. This engine was formerly a demo unit used by the Chicagoland Motor Speedway and was then purchased by New Lenox. According to some of the firefighters, it worked well but had awful suspension. It will be gone by the end of 2023.

New engine for New Lenox

From the New Lenox Fire District Facebook page:

New Lenox FPD photo

On the afternoon of December 15th, officials blessed a new fire engine that will be going into service for the New Lenox Fire Protection District (NLFPD).

Fire Chief Adam Riegel, Deputy Chief Dan Turner, Chaplain Bill Ciston, and members of the NLFPD took part in the blessing of the new engine on Tuesday afternoon. It is part of a fire service tradition that dates to the days of horse-drawn engines. The new apparatus is blessed, then welcomed by pushing it into its new quarters at the fire station.

According to Chief Riegel, “The push-in ritual can be traced back to the late 1800’s when it was a challenge to get horses to push equipment backwards. As a result, firefighters moved the equipment into storage areas by hand.”

The new fire engine is a 2020 Pierce Saber with a 1500 gallon-per-minute pump and a 750-gallon water tank. It is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) equipped engine, which gives it the same capabilities as an ambulance apart from transport. It is replacing a 2004 Pierce Dash, which will now be used a reserve engine.

“We are very thankful to our community,” said Deputy Chief Turner. “Thanks to our residents we were able to purchase the new engine which will provide more reliability to our fleet and less maintenance costs for the district.”

The primary mission of the New Lenox Fire and Ambulance Protection District is to provide a range of programs designed to protect the lives and property within New Lenox Village and Township from the effects for fires and sudden medical emergencies or exposure to dangerous conditions created by man or nature with professional, compassionate, and quality service.
