The North Judson Town Council got an update Monday on efforts to replace the two police cars destroyed in a fire back in October. A 2011 Ford Crown Victoria and 2013 Dodge Charger were parked inside Town Marshal Doug Vessely’s detached garage when a fire started in the Ford.

Vessely told council members an inspection event was held on November 30. He says representatives from about 24 companies involved in the purchase and maintenance of the cars met at the scene of the fire to conduct their inspections.

Vessely also says he’s been meeting with an independent insurance representative hired by the town’s commercial insurance company to determine the next steps.
