Yes great photos and hope to see more.

not Chicago, but a different Illinois black over red town. It should be Elk Grove Village, IL. I compared the shot, the light in the grill is on both, as well as the front suction and very pronounced air cleaner. the body is very different, appears to have an RSI tag on the pump panel. I am awaiting confirmation on this but I am 95% sure.

Another VFD with great-looking rigs is the North Montgomery County VFD, located north of Conroe along Interstate 45. This department is famous for their blue apparatus.

This rig served at the station in Panorama Village.

Montgomery County at one time had a Hahn x Berwyn PA in the same pastel blue color, have you seen a photo of this truck (or have one)

Cypress Creek VFD protects a high-value area and their apparatus have always been fun to shoot...

You are correct, I have it in my database as Elk Gorve Village Engine 116. I will try and track down a picture of it.

Eric,



This is a list I compiled from the SE Penna region. I presume many of these rigs are long gone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
