On September 5, 2020, Union Engine 1543, Brush 1569, and Assistant Chief 1503, along with units from Marengo and Woodstock, responded to a two-vehicle T-bone collision at the intersection of Route 176 and Dunham Road in Union. One individual was airlifted to the Rockford Trauma Center by a medical helicopter. The accident caused a temporary closure of Route 176 for approximately one hour late Saturday night. Authorities from McHenry County are currently investigating the incident to determine the cause.
Photos captured by Alex Vucha provide a glimpse into the scene, showing the aftermath of the crash. One image highlights the damaged vehicles, while another shows the medical helicopter on site. A third photo captures the darkened road at the location, emphasizing the urgency and seriousness of the event.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving, especially during evening hours when visibility can be reduced. Local emergency services were quick to respond, ensuring the injured received immediate care and that traffic was managed efficiently once the area was cleared.
Residents and drivers are advised to remain cautious in the area as investigations continue and additional details become available.

(1) The use temperature is high, and it can be used for a long time at 1300 °C. The non-metallic materials have strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and there will be no oxidation of metal anchors at high temperatures, and the phenomenon of refractory spalling caused by welding; (2) The thermal conductivity is similar to that of the refractory material, which reduces the stress caused by the difference in volume change between different materials; (3) The thermal bridge effect is reduced because the ceramic anchors replace the metal anchors, which reduces the overall thermal conductivity, thus saving energy The effect is also significantly enhanced. By actually measuring the temperature of each section of the grate cooler, the average reduction is 10 °C.
