This from Larry Shapiro for #TBT:

For #TBT, here are some shots of vintage Morton Grove fire apparatus as I was going up on the north shore. I was unable to get my hands on the specs when I submitted these.

This from Mike Summa:

TBT- This was Richton Park Truck 35, a late 70’s or early 80’s Pirsch 100′ RM. It has I think a TCM Cincinnati cab. If you know more about this truck please feel free to comment.
