This from Wayne Stuart:
The Gary Fire Department operated this 1952 Ford / American LaFrance pumper. It had a 500-GPM pump and a 500-gallon tank. It carried ALF serial # F-2576. This pumper was purchased in 1982 from the Lakes of The Four Seasons Fire Force in Crown Point Indiana. It ran as Engine Company 11, and then as a spare.

For #TBT. Fire at the Lyric Theater in Blue Island, February 14th, 1960. Sunday afternoon matinee filled with children watching a movie. The building was evacuated and the only loss was the building. Today, this would have been a box alarm with multiple companies attending and change of quarters. Back then it was handled solely by Blue Island. How times have changed.
