Here's a dreaded station shot of their reserve truck. There were no serial numbers to be found on this truck.

It was bought used and came from somewhere in Ohio, no one on the dept. was real sure.
This rig originally ran as Truck 10 in Columbus, OH.

As late as the early 90s the LaFrance, Seagrave, and Dodge/Pierce from Hillsboro (my hometown) were solid red with the old rotating light bars. I have some pics of them in a homecoming parade probably in 1989. Ill see if I can dig them up and scan them to put them on here.
Also at that time period the 2 story addition was not there. Just the one story bays to the north, and there was a room for the fire/police dispatcher. I havent been to Hillsboro in many years. Did you get a tour of the station? Do you know what they do with the 2nd story? Did they put a pole in?

Nice Shots Dennis.

Did you by chance get to Litchfield? I am always curious as some of these towns seem to squirrel away old equipment. I am curious if Litchfield still has there collection of old ALFs and an old Seagrave in addition to their new KMEs.

StlFF34, I did get a quick tour thru the station and they put in a nice meeting room/day room and workout room up there. I do not remember if they had put a pole in or not. They are still doing the dispatch for the police which I found very unique.

Litchfield is on my list of departments to shoot as I work in Illinois during 2011.
Thanks all for viewing.

Another of my stops was at the Kinmundy-Alma Fire District and a big thanks to Chief Kevin Day for posing the rigs for me. I found this department to be very well equipped for the size of the towns they cover.

This was definitely a cool little rig. Reportedly the first brush rig built by Towers and still runs like a champ.

Here's just a tease of some classic suburban Chicago rigs that I'm in the process of scanning for my good friend John Tulipano. These pictures date back to the mid-80's when he first started photographing apparatus. A lot of the older stuff has no info so if anyone has the info feel free to share it.

19?? IH/Bean (just a guess but the covered booster lines are fairly unique to them)

No other info.
