Homewood Acres FPD update
Dennis McGuire, Jr. visited the Homewood Acres Fire Department on Tuesday and shared a collection of photos along with some background information about the department.
**Notes:** The department is not yet fully operational, but they are actively working toward that goal. Currently, 15 volunteers are undergoing training to prepare for future emergencies.
The old Engine 1932, a 1972 Ford-John Bean pumper, has been sold to a local pawn shop owner in Flossmoor, Illinois, who resides in Grant Park. The truck will be transported tomorrow morning (around 5:30 AM) and will serve as mobile advertising for his business. It’s worth noting that this engine originally ran on a gas motor. This vehicle had an extensive history, having served under the East Joliet Fire Department, Holbrook Fire Department, and Glenwood Fire Department, in that order.
A new Engine 1932 has been acquired — a 1985 Ford-Pierce pumper from Plainfield, Illinois. The department is still deciding whether to paint it or keep it in its original white color.
Another vehicle, a Ford from Country Club Hills, was scrapped several months ago. It was replaced by a 1986 Mack-Ward 79 pumper from Burbank, Illinois, which was previously assigned to Engine 208.
One of the photos Dennis sent shows all three engines lined up together, creating a unique and visually interesting scene.
The images also capture the current fleet of the Homewood Acres Fire Protection District as of May 29, 2012, offering a glimpse into their operations at that time.
