The Palos Fire Protection District recently sold its 2005 International Road Rescue 4300 ambulance for $10,000 to a Mokena-based towing company owner, who said he plans to bring it to Sunday's Bears game for tailgating.

He purchased the 2005 International Road Rescue 4300 ambulance Sept. 13 for his towing company, paying $10,000 for it after hearing the Palos Fire Protection District posted it on Municibid, an online site that auctions government surplus items. The Palos fire department removed all of its logos as part of the process of preparing the vehicle for sale, but the emergency lights remain.
