Back in October I had a day to kill before I had to be at the Illinois Fire Chiefs Conference so I took the day and made my way across west central Illinois managing to find some photographer friendly departments. First up is this rig I found sitting alongside the road in Fowler. IL. I have no info on this one at all.
