Sweet Thanks Phil. That is great news, Joe will drop his teeth when he finds out it will be RED. He fell over when I told him the beautiful Millcreek emerald green was replaced by that odd lime color. Thanks again.



Stay Safe,

Also during my fire station spree back in march while up in Edwardsville,IL I caught Unit 1391 sitting outside it is a 2008 Ford Explorer.

Went to Glen Carbon,IL FD Open House for EMS Week back in May and I caught their Antique Fire Truck Sitting inside not sure on the specs on this one any help would be great I know its a Dodge, other than that im not sure.

not looking to second guess you Ilfirebuff but that Venice reserve 1978 Ford looks like a Bean to me. distinctive hose reel covers and pump panel.



also...lol if you had gone over to Johnson Rd to GC Co 3....i bet you wouldn't have found them in house....they're ALWAYS out!!

[ilfirebuff]

ok Thanks for the correction TNT I did go pass Eng hse 3 in GC and both trucks were in the house a pumper and an ambulance. lol.

[tntway]

i currently live a block over from 3's on Johnson......seems to me that they are always down on Nameoki parked at a restaurant....lol!!

Engine 4 was in a Mack add in the 1960's and also in Walt McCall's book American Fire Engine's since 1900. Very cool photos, see you soon brother.

Frond sheet metal told me it was a 1941 or early 1942 Dodge, but checked the Glen Carbon Website and found out it is "1941 Dodge / Central - purchased new by department - but now owned by Fire Safety Inc. Wood River IL" Sounds like Fire Safety returns it to Glen Carbon when ever they want it for events etc. Great find, nice photo!

Saturday. September 11, 2010. For the 3rd year it will be held under the Arch on the riverfront. I believe the parade usually begins either at 9 or 10 am.



Im sure their website will be updated once the date approaches.
