Photos from Removal
Removed on 08/05/23. The pole was dry rotted and was at risk of collapsing. Has since been restored.
HISTORY - Lombard has had a mix of Thunderbolt 1000s and 1000Ts, a few of which have been replaced. The Thunderbolt 1000 along 355 is apparently not known to even exist according to Lombard and DuPage County themselves, and the 1000 at the fire department apparently had issues. A number of their Thunderbolts have been replaced with 2001s over the years.
