detail shot showing a sand container. I've seen this device posted before on Fire Pics.

Does any one know if there are any of these still in use?

It looks like a great idea[/quote]

Yes, they are still made. They were very popular in the trucking industry, as well.

Wow I guess Chicago ridge built a new station. The last time I was there it was about the size of a shoe box and they had to lower the floor on one of the bays to fit that truck.

FFPM571, the Chicago Ridge station was just opened I want to say less then a month ago. The old one is still there, I heard they are tearing it down.

Oak Lawn's new Truck 3 wears two hats...It is Squad 1 when it just has the driver and officer assigned to it, it becomes Truck 3 when the crew from Med 3 jumps on. I have yet to hear it as "Truck 3" on the radio. The old squad is facing out the back of Station 3 last I saw it.
