Back in October I had a day to kill before I had to be at the Illinois Fire Chiefs Conference so I took the day and made my way across west central Illinois managing to find some photographer friendly departments. First up is this rig I found sitting alongside the road in Fowler. IL. I have no info on this one at all.

Next I went thru Camp Point, IL and found this Central Adams County Engine at the Camp Point Fire House for some type of training class.

The next town I hit as I wandered down US 24 was Mt.Sterling. Mt.Sterling runs both the city and the county department out of the same station. The guys there were more then willing to pose the rigs for me.
