  If my memory serves me right there were twins 1989 Spartans and the 2003 when I moved to Justice.

  Roberts Park is one of the original fire districts formed in their area in 1946
  joining fellow districts North Palos, Palos Heights, Palos Park(Palos Fire Dist) Orland,and some of the Districts no longer in operation Columbus Manor,Grandview Park, both annexed to Oaklawn if you get on their websites
  It’s nice to see the old stations and apparatus they once used from humble beginnings to where they are today……..

  Sharp old rig. This was in the days when SPARTAN was mostly for apparatus builders that didn’t have a custom chassis of their own.
