In Division 24, the Homewood Fire Department has recently been added to the site. Covering a 5-square-mile area, they operate with a mix of career and part-time firefighters. Their fleet includes apparatus from Pierce, Smeal, Crimson, and 3D. One unique feature of their station is the variety of chassis manufacturers represented. For instance, their Pierce pumper uses a Lance chassis, while they also have a cab and chassis from HME, Spartan, and Pemfab. In addition to two ambulances, they share a reserve ambulance with Flossmoor and Hazel Crest, which is located at the Hazel Crest station. All images were submitted by Karl Klotz.
