This from Larry Shapiro:
There was no apparatus on display this year from the northern Illinois area. The image shows the Lucas Oil Stadium exhibits. With Pierce finally moving their booth to the convention hall with all of the other apparatus, the stadium had a much different look and feel than it has since it opened in 2008.

Early Sunday evening, (3/3/24) Lake Zurich and neighboring firefighters were dispatched for a fire on the rear deck of a house that was extending to the structure on Kimberly Road in North Barrington. The house is situated on a narrow street in an area without hydrants. The first engine pulled a line for the deck fire and they were subsequently nursed by the second-due engine for additional water. Lake Zurich’s third engine then did the same before the first tanker arrived with an additional water supply. The fire was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for a tender shuttle, but the fire was extinguished before there was a need for a that.
A partial list of equipment at the scene included trucks from Wauconda and Buffalo Grove, a squad from Libertyville, an engine from Wheeling, ambulances from Mundelein, Palatine, and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD, tankers (tenders) from Cary, Long Grove, Libertyville, and the Countryside FPD.
