Fire Service Inc. Open House 10-3-15

This from Dennis McGuire, Jr:

I was able to attend the open house held yesterday (10/3/15) at the Fire Service Inc. headquarters in St. John, Indiana. On display were many demo rigs and some new deliveries for the area. Of interest were a rear engine pumper on a Quest HS chassis, E-One’s 78′, 105′, and 137′ rear mount aerials, and a 100′ tower ladder quint on the new Quest chassis. Local rigs on display were a Typhoon engine for Hometown, a Typhoon engine for Glencoe, and 14 new Ford E-350/Wheeled Coach ambulances for Chicago. (Ambulnaces  2, 8, 11, 17, 18, 21, 27, 37, 42, 62, 64, 68, 69 & 73)
