The MABAS Division 5 includes McHenry County, home to 18 departments, some of which have used non-red apparatus over the years. Among these departments, only three maintained fleets predominantly in lime green and white or yellow: the Nunda Rural Fire Protection District, the Lake in the Hills station of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District, and the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District (which later became part of the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District). According to the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District's website, the merger between the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District, the Woodstock City Fire Department, and the Woodstock Rescue Squad took place in October 1993.
Eight other departments had red fleets, yet each had at least one vehicle painted differently. For instance, the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department acquired a small rescue squad in 1982 that adhered to DOT specifications, requiring it to be lime green.
The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District had a distinctive blue brush truck, setting it apart from the otherwise red fleet. Similarly, the Harvard Fire Protection District and the Harvard Rescue Squad shared a station, with the latter having an orange and white squad, the sole unit in that color scheme.
The Richmond Fire Protection District operated a white rescue squad, while the Spring Grove Fire Protection District had both a white rescue unit and a white tanker. The Union Fire Protection District briefly featured a lime green Ford/Darley engine in 19__, making it the only such unit in their fleet.
The Woodstock City Fire Department once had a white Seagrave quad and a white brush truck—a 1969 Dodge W300/Welch model. Meanwhile, the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire District had two yellow stations in the past, with the Lake in the Hills station featuring a 1968 IHC/Welch squad and two additional yellow pumpers: a 1972 IHC Cargostar-Alexis 750/750 and a 1975 IHC Cargostar-Bean 750/1000.
The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District transitioned from lime green/white to red/black schemes, as seen in their 1984 Ford C8000/FMC engine. When the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection and Woodstock City Fire Departments were separate entities, the rural apparatus was painted lime green and white. The Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District also ran a 1986 Darley engine mounted on a Spartan 4-door cab, featuring a top-mount pump panel controlling a 1,000-GPM pump and carrying 1,000 gallons of water.
These variations in color schemes reflect the diverse history and evolution of firefighting equipment across different districts in McHenry County.
