Very nice pics. First thing I noticed though is that not all of the firehouses are shown flying the US flag but maybe they are just out of view. Second thing is that those that do don't have the POW / MIA flag below, something that I notice lacks at public buildings in mos states I visit; here in NJ it's been a public law for many years that our publicly owned buildings are required to have the POW/MIA flag either on a separate pole or below the Stars and Stripes and many buildings that are not publicly owned also do that.

The only few places in the Chicago area or even most of IL you see the POW/MIA is at the VFW or American Legion.

Quote:Sterling F.D.Sterling's station is a very neat building. Given the date it was built it was well ahead of its time. The bunk rooms are private, the bays are sized large enough for modern apparatus even though the building is from the 1960's, there's a fantastic design for washing and drying hose, etc. The entire building is concrete including the roof, so the thing is virtually bomb proof. Those who go visit these places the building is worth a stop, and as a bonus their original Ahrens Fox rig sits in the maintenance bay at the rear of the building.

If so what is located on the second floor and how many slide poles. Thanks in advance. Rick

At least two poles, but I don't think either are used anymore. One is blocked by the Plymovent system, I know that.

Quote:Grant Park F.P.D.Anyone been in this one? Looks like a decent building, and we're looking to build in the near future. Emails with the chief said they spent $1.9 million on it and the building is about three years old.

I had a brief tour right as it was opened up and put in service so alot of the final touches were still being done, but when compared to what they came from this is a great house. Very spacious. It's worth a visit if your looking for new station ideas.
