This vehicle does not start and must be towed. Cranks with a jump but won’t fire.

It was driven in for a transmission slipping problem and parked for several months now it won’t start. The vehicle was maintained every 3,000 miles by the City of Elgin’s Fleet Division. The vehicle was removed from service in May 2024 and is now ready for auction.

The vehicle is red and does not have any cracked glass. The vehicle does have RUST (as seen in pictures), dents, scratches, and dings. The tires are in good condition.

The vehicle has a grey vinyl interior and is in poor condition (as seen in pictures). The seats, dash, and floor all have wear/damage. The sliding side door does not open and the door panel is removed but still in the van. The vehicle has a stock AM/FM radio. Light bar is missing the controller. The AC condition is unknown.

Calumet City Fire Department history

Jan 20

Posted by Admin in Fire Department History, Historic fire apparatus | 6 Comments

This from Jeff Rudolph:

Greeting from sunny, warm Florida. In my travels around I located the remains of an old Calumet City, IL American LaFrance engine on some property near Ruskin, FL. Engine 304 has clearly seen better days. Yes there are 2 trees growing up through it. The owner of the property was from East Troy, WI, and moved several vehicles down here years ago.

The photo of 304 as it used to look is a Bill Friedrich photo.
