This week’s posting of the Division 10 apparatus showing departments that once had a unique colored rig or that have changed to red was flawed. The Clarendon Hills Fire Department should not have been featured since their current color is not red, but with that in mind, Bill Friedrich has submitted an image from a day when Clarendon Hills did have red trucks.
Bill tells us that:
Clarendon Hills started of with a black over red fleet. Besides this one, they had a really neat FWD engine and a Ford C squad truck. They also had a white tandem axle Ford F ambulance.
Bill also tells us about the Hinsdale Fire Department:
Hinsdale had an all red fleet as well prior to the black and yellow rigs. Besides this ladder they had a Pirsch and FWD engine.
