MABAS Division 5 covers McHenry County, and within the division, there are 18 fire departments. While most of these departments operated with red apparatus over the years, a few had unique color schemes. Specifically, three departments—Nunda Rural Fire Protection District, Lake in the Hills station of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District, and the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District (now part of the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District)—used lime green and white or yellow as their primary colors. According to the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District website, "In October of 1993, the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District, Woodstock City Fire Department, and Woodstock Rescue Squad merged together to form the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District."
Eight other departments had fleets primarily painted red, but each had at least one unit that stood out with a different color. These included Crystal Lake, Hebron, Harvard, Marengo Rescue Squad, Richmond, Spring Grove, Union, and Woodstock City.
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department acquired a small rescue squad in 1982 that met Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications, which required it to be delivered in lime green. This was a rare exception in an otherwise red fleet.
Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District once had a brush truck painted blue, which contrasted sharply with the rest of their red fleet. The unit, built on a 1973 GMC chassis with a Stahl body, carried 250 gallons of water and had a pumping capacity of 450 gallons per minute.
Harvard Fire Protection District and Harvard Rescue Squad shared a station, but the Rescue Squad had a distinct orange and white paint scheme, making it the only unit in the area with that color combination.
Richmond Fire Protection District had a rescue squad painted entirely white, a unique choice for the time.
Spring Grove Fire Protection District also used white for both a rescue squad and a tanker, setting them apart from neighboring departments.
Union Fire Protection District operated a white Ford/Darley engine in the 1970s, which was the only lime green piece in their fleet at the time.
Woodstock City Fire Department had a white Seagrave quad in 1967 and a white brush truck, a 1969 Dodge W300/Welch 250/200, adding to the diversity of their fleet.
Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District had two stations. The Lake in the Hills station featured yellow-painted apparatus, including a 1968 IHC/Welch rescue squad and two pumpers painted chrome yellow.
Nunda Rural Fire Protection District originally used lime green and white, but later transitioned to red and black.
Before merging, the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District had a lime green and white fleet, while the Woodstock City Fire Department maintained its own separate color scheme.
