As the Chicago area experienced its **first snow of the season**, local fire departments were kept busy responding to a number of incidents. One of the most notable was a two-car head-on collision this morning on Route 173, west of Delaney Road in Wadsworth, IL. Jeff Rudolph captured the scene, documenting the efforts of the Newport Township Fire Protection District (FPD), who arrived with multiple units. They were joined by emergency personnel from Zion and Winthrop Harbor, highlighting the importance of mutual aid in such situations.
Six individuals were transported from the scene, and while injuries were reported, they did not appear to be life-threatening. The weather conditions played a significant role, with slick roads contributing to the accident. Emergency responders worked carefully to ensure the safety of everyone involved, including the use of specialized equipment to extract the driver from a minivan that had been heavily damaged in the crash.
The Newport Township FPD deployed both their ambulances—1441 and 1458—as well as their brush unit, 1475, which provided additional support. Squad 1458 was strategically positioned to block the road, serving as a protective barrier for rescuers and patients. This proactive approach helped prevent further accidents and ensured a safer environment for all on the scene.
Other agencies, like the Winthrop Harbor Fire Department and the Zion Fire Department, also contributed, with their ambulances—1742 and 1842—arriving to assist in patient transport. The collaboration between departments was evident throughout the response, showcasing the strength of regional emergency services.
Jeff Rudolph, a local photographer, recently launched a Flickr page to share his work, featuring images of emergency vehicles and on-scene activity from across the region. His collection includes photos dating back many years, offering a unique look at the history of firefighting and emergency response. You can view his full gallery [here](#).
