Broadview Fire Department added to the site

Broadview Fire DepartmentThe Broadview Fire Department in MABAS Division 20 covers just under two square miles from one station which was once stacked full of American LaFrance units. Today there are still two American LaFrance units in Broadview, one is a 1982 Century Series engine and the other is a one-of-a-kind Grumman AerialCat tower ladder on a low profile American LaFrance chassis.

Dennis McGuire, Jr. submitted images for this update which includes two ambulances, two engines, the tower ladder, a pickup, and an X-military AM General Humvee.
