I was out photographing firehouses the other day and came upon the fleet outside of the University Park station 1.

I thought at one time they were Black over Lime. Interesting Black-White-Lime. Thanks for posting love seeing the rigs around the windy city.



Stay Safe Brother,

I agree some of the PUC's are out of control big. What ever happened to a simple pump no chills no frills just a low hose bed side mounted panel.

Rosemont has a matching quantum tower. I installed the computers in the cabs.

Here are a few experiments from my attempts at scanning my slides with my new scanner. I may have posted this before but I still think this is such a unique rig it bears reposting even tho the shot is not the best. This is one of I believe 3 snorkels built by Seagrave. This is Melrose Park Snorkel 705. This is one of the few times I ever saw it on a call and I never did witness it working. I shot this sometime in 1982 according to the process date on the slide.
