Airless packaging typically consists of a container with a pump mechanism that dispenses the product. The pump is designed to create a vacuum seal, which prevents air from entering the container. This helps to protect the product from exposure to air, which can cause oxidation and degradation.
There are several benefits to using airless packaging. Firstly, it helps to extend the shelf life of the product by preventing oxidation. This means that the product remains fresh and effective for longer periods of time. Secondly, airless packaging allows for more precise dispensing of the product, reducing waste and ensuring that the desired amount is dispensed each time.
Overall, airless packaging is a popular choice for many cosmetic and skincare products due to its ability to protect the product and enhance its shelf life.
Evanston Fire Department history Part 47
**From Phil Stenholm:**
Another chapter in the **History of the Evanston Fire Department**
**A New Police/Fire HQ and Another Sudden Tragedy**
In January 1949, the Evanston Fire Department welcomed a new Seagrave Model J-66 canopy cab pumper into service at Fire Station #1. This state-of-the-art vehicle boasted a 1000-GPM pump and an 80-gallon tank, powered by a powerful Pierce-Arrow V-12 engine. It also featured a Mars FL-8 rooftop light, two high-mounted red flashers, a Delco-Remy Twin-Blast siren, and a bell as its warning devices. Taking its place as the new Engine No. 1, this rig replaced one of the department's older Seagrave Model G-80 pumpers, which had been in service since 1937. That older pumper was renumbered as Engine No. 4 and sent to Station #4. Meanwhile, the 1917/1930 Seagrave Suburbanite, previously Engine No. 4, was placed in reserve alongside Engine No. 6 and Truck No. 3, giving the department redundancy in its frontline apparatus.
Starting in January 1949, the EFD ended its fire protection duties in the College Hill area of Skokie, as the newly established Skokie Fire Department opened its east-side Station #2 at 8340 Hamlin Avenue. This new station was home to a modern 1948 American LaFrance Model 710 PJO 1000-GPM pumper, along with a mix of full-time and part-time personnel. Skokie now had two well-equipped stations—Station #1 in downtown Skokie, featuring a 1937 Pirsch aerial truck and a 1926 Ahrens-Fox pumper. By this time, the Wilmette Fire Department remained a mix of full-time and part-time personnel, housed in their 1915-built combined police/fire station on Green Bay Road. Their frontline apparatus included a 1942 Seagrave G-80 and a 1943 J-66, with a 1915 American-LaFrance as backup.
The Winnetka Fire Department, located in a unique three-bay station at Green Bay Road and Ash Street, also operated with a mix of full-time and part-time staff. They had a 1947 American-LaFrance Model 775 and a 1926 Type 14 as their main vehicles, supported by a 1919 Type 75 in reserve.
By 1948, the aging Evanston Police/Fire headquarters at Grove and Sherman had become structurally unsafe. The basement cell-blocks suffered from severe plumbing issues, while the apparatus floor showed dangerous structural cracks. Additionally, there was concern over deteriorating 19th-century electrical wiring buried within the walls. Given these risks, the city decided to build a new two-story Public Safety headquarters at the intersection of Lake and Elmwood.
Construction began in early 1949, and the facility officially opened on August 27th. The old Grove and Sherman building was demolished shortly afterward, and the site eventually became a parking lot for the nearby Valencia theater. Later, during 1975-77, the land was developed into the 18-story One American Plaza office building.
The new Public Safety building was about 20% larger than its predecessor but retained the same layout and orientation. The Evanston Police Department occupied the eastern half at 1454 Elmwood Avenue, while Fire Station #1 took up the western side at 909 Lake Street. A brick drill tower was added behind the station, replacing the older tower constructed in 1925 behind Station #3. The west bay was divided from the rest of the station by a brick wall, serving as the repair shop. The two bays nearest the repair shop were longer to accommodate aerial ladder trucks.
A small two-bay garage for the police ambulance and prisoner transport vehicle stood near Elmwood Avenue, close to the EPD’s front desk. Below ground, the building housed a parking garage for the police department and a handball court accessible to both police and firefighters.
Tragically, tragedy struck on September 20, 1949. Captain Ed Hanrahan of Engine Co. 1 collapsed and died of a heart attack while playing handball in the basement gymnasium, just weeks after the station opened. Hanrahan, who weighed over 300 pounds, was following a strict diet and exercise routine that included handball. At 44 years old, he was one of the most beloved figures in the department. This was the fifth sudden heart attack death among EFD officers under 50 since 1929, following similar incidents involving Lieutenants Boekenhauer, Didier, Dorband, and Elliott.
