I was out photographing firehouses the other day and came upon the fleet outside of the University Park station 1.

I thought at one time they were Black over Lime. Interesting Black-White-Lime. Thanks for posting love seeing the rigs around the windy city.
Stay Safe Brother,

Hinsdale used to run black over yellow until they got their new "truck" thats black over red.

I agree some of the PUC's are out of control big. What ever happened to a simple pump no chills no frills just a low hose bed side mounted panel.

Rosemont has a matching quantum tower. I installed the computers in the cabs.

Here are a few experiments from my attempts at scanning my slides with my new scanner. I may have posted this before but I still think this is such a unique rig it bears reposting even tho the shot is not the best. This is one of I believe 3 snorkels built by Seagrave. This is Melrose Park Snorkel 705. This is one of the few times I ever saw it on a call and I never did witness it working. I shot this sometime in 1982 according to the process date on the slide.
