It seems like the North Palos Fire Protection District has recently joined MABAS Division 21. This district operates out of three different stations, including a former location that once belonged to the Worth Fire Department. In January 2009, the Worth Fire Department was integrated into North Palos, bringing along its personnel, station, and equipment.
Looking at some of their assets, Station 1 serves as the headquarters, and it's quite an impressive facility. It’s interesting to note how the Worth Fire Department's Engine 6723, a 1990 Spartan/FMC 1250/500, has been repurposed as North Palos Engine 833. That’s just one example of how the districts have merged resources over time.
Another noteworthy vehicle is the Worth Engine 6713, a 2004 E-ONE Typhoon 1500/750, which now proudly carries the North Palos designation as Engine 823. It’s always fascinating to see how older fire trucks can continue serving communities under new banners after such transitions.
The Worth Fire Department also had a variety of other vehicles, like Ambulance 6712, a 1999 IHC 4700/Road Rescue Type I, which has been rebranded as Ambulance 822 within the North Palos fleet. Meanwhile, the Worth Fire Department Car 6700, a 2001 Ford Expedition, has taken on a different role entirely, now being used as a public works vehicle rather than a fire service asset.
These changes reflect not only the evolution of firefighting services but also the practical considerations of resource allocation and community needs. It’s inspiring to see how these departments can adapt and grow together, ensuring that residents receive the best possible support when they need it most.
For those who follow firefighting history, it’s worth noting that some older vehicles, like the Leyden Township FPD truck—a 1986 Federal Motors Hurricane/E-ONE 110′ aerial—have found new homes and purposes over the years. These transitions often tell stories of dedication and continuity in emergency response.
As someone who keeps tabs on these developments, it’s exciting to see how the North Palos Fire Protection District is shaping up in its new role. The integration of Worth’s assets has clearly strengthened their capacity while preserving the legacy of both departments. I’m curious to see what further changes lie ahead for this district and how they’ll continue to serve their community effectively.
