This from Martin Nowak:
Here’s a look at the front line rigs of the Willow Springs Fire Department. I am hoping to get better pictures soon. Engine 1911 a KME/Luverne. Ambulance 1914 a 1997-2002 Ford E-450/Road Rescue

This may belong in the “where are they now” posts, but the black-painted ladder is now here: http://www.syracusefd.com/apparatus.html

What happened to their black tower anyway?

There is a video under that user if anyone wants to see how the truck looked.

I miss their black ladder truck. It might have looked out of place as the only black rig, but there was something kinda cool about it. Here’s a video I came across on YouTube that has some of the additional apparatus (though it didn’t seem to mention the reserve truck). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svhAUqcl9F0

But this department is going to stay around. I hope the best of luck for Willow Springs.

Few years ago rumors were that Tri-State would take half of Willow Springs and Roberts Park the other half but this never happened.

Yes Ron, when they left Division 21 and joined Division 10 about a year ago, they took the 1900 series numbers.

Ron, Willow Springs changed numbers after they switched to MABAS 10 they were in MABAS 21 before when they came into MABAS 10 the 600# were in use by Darian-Woodridge. However Dar-Wood is switching numbers to match Ducomm new system Dar-Wood will be 88 89 @ 90
