Illinois - A/TCEMSPM - 04-05-2011
Some clarification on the Tri-State Issue. Their Headquarters station where 484, 483 and 583 were photgraphed is in Darien. where 382 and 383 where photographed is in unincorporated Hinsdale. 384 and 482 appear to be photographed in front of Station three which is in unincorporated Burr Ridge. They also have a fourth station in Willowbrook as well which is the former Clarendon Heights Fire District which merged in 1995. The City of Darien itself does not have its own fire department. it is divided in half at Cass Avenue. One side is Tri-State, The other side is Darien-Woodridge. Which then splits Woodridge in half at I believe I-355 with Lisle Woodridge. Bill F. or FFPM571 Could confirm the District Boundary, It has been Five years since I left Tri-State.I might be a little rusty

those boundrys sound about right..the south end of the county is a mish mosh of fire districts
Illinois - DGFD147 - 04-07-2011
The Tri State FPD was never part of the Hinsdale FD. They cover unicorporated areas of Hinsdale, Darien and Bur Ridge. They have a Darien mailing address for the headquarters station on Plainfield Rd.

this ALF was originally Darien, IL. same question, did they merge?

The Darien part of this is the mailing address for headquarters.

No Tri-State has been around since the early 50's at least. They are to the south of Hinsdale and cover all or part's of Darien, Willowbrook and Burr Ridge as well as unincorporated DuPage County. As far s the rig goes I'm not sure if that was originally a Hinsdale engine or not.
The American LaFrance engine was sold and delivered directly to the Tri State FPD

Are you showing this ALF as delievered to Darien, IL? That would be the delivery address of the District as their HQ's has a Darien mailing Address. As far as I know Darien never had their own fire dept. Maybe Bill F. can jump in here and clarify things.
Happy to help out Dennis. Darien never had their own FD. Most likely prior to Tri State FPD getting started they could have been getting protection from the Downers Grove Estates FPD to the West, Pleasantview FPD to the East and Hinsdale FD to the North.

[quote name='photog999' timestamp='1302058919' post='432964'] Here's a few more from the west suburbs of Chicago. First up is this Snorkel from the Oak Brook Terrace FPD. The original name for the district was the Butterfield FPD and sometime in the early '80's I believe they changed it to Oak Brook Terrace to better reflect the town they protected. John has this down as a Pierce but a couple of books I have including Walt McCall's call this a Darley rig. John Tulipano photo.
This is indeed a early Pierce body. This department had a few GMC-Darley engines.
