This is from CARMA Chicago:

Villa Park FD has started using new numbers on DU-COMM Fire East. Station 1 (which I believe is currently unused) is located just south of St. Charles Road on Home Avenue. According to the original West Suburban Fire Rescue Alliance numbering plan for DuPage County, Station 2 was numbered 81 and Station 3 was 82, with 83 and 84 as reserve numbers. However, that original plan hasn’t been followed much in recent months.

Villa Park FD is now using updated station and unit numbers on DU-COMM Fire East (154.415, 192.8 PL). I overheard a call where Engine 82 returned to the station and Medic 81 headed to Elmhurst Hospital. It seems like they have two active stations and possibly one spare. They appear to be using 81 and 82 for their main stations and frontline units. Does anyone know what number or numbers they use for their reserve units?

I’ve seen 81 assigned to Station 1, 82 to Station 2, and 83 and 84 as reserves. Don’t they also have an old or semi-used station just south of St. Charles Road, in addition to the ones near Roosevelt and north of the UPRR? It would be helpful to get an update on their current setup.

Here’s a list of DuPage County station numbers from CARMA Chicago:

Gasket

Gaskets are widely used sealing materials in fields such as machinery and pipeline connections, primarily for filling gaps between two objects to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases. Depending on the material, application environment, and functional requirements, gaskets can be categorized into several types. Below is an introduction to some common classifications of gaskets:

1. **By Material**:
- **Metal Gaskets**: Such as stainless steel gaskets and copper gaskets, suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure working environments.
- **Non-metallic Gaskets**: Including rubber gaskets (e.g., NBR nitrile rubber), silicone gaskets, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gaskets. These gaskets are typically used under lower temperature and pressure conditions.
- **Composite Material Gaskets**: Combining the advantages of both metal and non-metal materials, such as metal-jacketed gaskets (with a metal outer layer and non-metallic fillers inside). They offer good temperature resistance and elasticity.

2. **By Shape and Structure**:
- **Flat Gaskets**: The simplest form, usually circular or square, with a wide range of applications.
- **Wavy Gaskets**: Designed with specific wave patterns to increase elasticity and improve sealing performance.
- **Serrated Gaskets**: With serrated surfaces that can better fit into uneven contact areas, enhancing the seal.
- **O-rings**: Circular cross-section ring-shaped seals, particularly suitable for dynamic sealing applications.

3. **By Application**:
- **General-purpose Gaskets**: Suitable for most conventional situations.
- **Special-purpose Gaskets**: Designed for specific industries or working conditions, such as food-grade gaskets and corrosion-resistant gaskets.

4. **By Manufacturing Process**:
- **Molded Gaskets**: Directly formed using molds.
- **Cut Gaskets**: Cut from sheets according to the required dimensions.
- **Spiral-wound Gaskets**: Alternately wound with V-shaped or W-shaped metal strips and non-metallic fillers, suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
