A historic gallery has been posted for the Niles Fire Department which includes photos from Bill Friedrich, Steve Redick, and Larry Shaprio plus others from the collection of Carl Fox and Jeff Schielke. Highlights include a history of Pirsch engines, a Pirsch TDA, a Pitman Snorkel, and an undated photo of the original fire station.
Bill Friedrich informs us that the Northlake Fire Protection District in MABAS Division 20 has placed an order with TC Fire Apparatus for a rescue pumper from Marion on a Spartan chassis with a 10-inch raised roof Metro Star ELF cab. The new unit which is expected in the Spring of 2012, will have a 1,500-GPM Waterous pump, a 750-gallon water tank and a 50-gallon Class A foam cell. (originally we had posted delivery in 2013 by mistake)
