New home for former Elmhurst squad

From the Boone County Sheriff’s Office:

On Thursday, November 18th, 2020, at 11:00 am, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office officially introduced its new Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Air Truck. This significant addition to their fleet was made possible through a collaborative effort between the Sheriff’s Office and all the fire departments across Boone County, who shared the cost of the purchase. The participating fire departments included Boone County Fire District #1 (Capron), Boone County Fire District #2 (Southern Boone County), North Boone Fire District #3, and the Belvidere Fire Department. Each department contributed $15,000 in cash and/or equipment toward the project. In addition, General Mills, based in Belvidere, generously donated $5,000 to support the initiative.

The new EMA Air Truck is a used E-One heavy rescue vehicle, designed primarily to refill firefighters’ air tanks during emergencies and assist with water rescues. It will be staffed by EMA volunteers and deployed not only within Boone County but also throughout the surrounding region when needed. This truck replaces an older model that had reached the end of its service life and could no longer meet the demands of emergency operations.
