Dennis McGuire, Jr. tells us the following:
Riverdale has traded in their Pierce engines for twin E-Ones which went thru Fire Service. One of the Pierce engines (831) was sold to Joplin, Missouri. The other engine (830) was supposedly sold to a department downstate.Also the 1971 Snorkel from Oak Forest is no longer on the roster and is in the process of being sold to a business in Crestwood that has plans to rebuild it into a memorial truck.
