Guys, this rig was sitting behind the Dunkin Donuts in Broadview Heights today. Its former Chicago Fire Dept. Squad 2A. Anybody have any info on this? There is an extensive renovation going on inside the store so it is possible that the contractor doing the work owns it. I always liked the Chicago Snorkels. I believe this one is a 2000. The Snorkel Squads run as 2-piece companies along with the respective rescue trucks.
