Crete Fire Department history

This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

TBT-Crete Fire Dept.’s #702, a 1970’s IHC/Pierce ( unknown specs.)  I found this interesting because it was not built on a Dodge chassis.

  I recall Glenside (Dupage) had an IH / Pierce Mini also.

  The Oak Forest one has gone about eight years now.

  Dodge was common but IH was also very common and then Chevys later. Funny enough, you see very few Ford/Pierce combinations from this timeframe.

  Hundreds of similar rigs went to FDs across the country.
