Next up was my old department, Hillside. Many thanks to Chief Mike Kuryla, Captain Joe Pellicori and crew for moving and posing the rigs for us. I'm going to repost the whole department even tho some have been posted in the past.

Here's few Hillside pictures from a different era. The first one is a picture taken by my dad, James Metzger back in about 1960 with the '47 ALF and the '50's era Caddy ambo on the front ramp of the station.

This photo by now retired Hillside Firefighter Frank Schnurstein from about 1974 shows the old '64 Buick ambo and the new '73 Dodge/Wayne I believe, [osed on the front ramp of the station. Compare these rigs to whats running their currently. Quite a difference thru the years! Photo posted with the permission of Frank Schnurstein.
