That ole pierce would look great painted red. Wish they had the money to do it.

Crabby they were lemons. I read your post incorrectly.

It’s a Pierce Arrow. Lemons are yellow, that rig is slime green. 🙂

Is that a PIERCE JAVELIN by any chance? Now those were lemons.

Nice pictures there. A good cross section of apparatus.

Garden Homes is the last 100% fully volunteer fire department/district in Cook County, from the chief all the way to newest recruits.

As you guessed – L to R – E2553, E2533, A2562; S2525 is parked behind the ambulance. E2553 sits behind the front wall and to the left of the door opening. A hard left to get out the door once the other rigs are out.

I’m not sure if they’re still volunteer or paid on call. They do a great job for being a small dept

How are the rigs lined up? Is it engine, engine ambulance and squad behind the ambulance?
