Park Forest South FD history
Oct 17
This from a reader:
I recently saw some pictures of the former Park Forest South equipment both while in service and in the bone yard. I was wondering if there were more images available of all the original equipment. I was a POC from 1978 until I went into the Marines in 1981.I have a few photos from the Los Angeles County Fire Museum, which might bring back some memories for people like your pictures did for me!Please let me know where I may obtain furter pictures of the PFSFD.Thanks for documenting the Fire Service.Jeff WolvenPs. I have included an image of the original shoulder patch.
We have recently received an influx of fire department patches to add to listings on the site. The following department patches have now been added:
This from Josh Boyajian;
We have a new house logo at Stickney, I attached the picture.
Also here is Lisle Woodridge’s Station 1 Logo “The Big House”.
Lucas Knudsen submitted the new decal being used for the Western Springs Fire Department patch.
We’d like to get the patch to add to the department pages on the site.

Summit is added to the site
Jul 29
In MABAS Division 21, the Summit Fire Department covers 2.5 square miles plus a four-mile stretch of nearby highways. They operate out of one station with a full-time chief and deputy chief plus 48 part-time firefighters. Summit has three Pierce engines (one is an X-Bedford Park piece), they have two Medtec ambulances, a command car, a boat, and the MABAS Division 21 Fire Investigation Unit (an X-North Palos Osage ambulance).
When the Cary Fire Protection District was added to the site HERE, there were several images missing. Larry Shapiro recently visited Cary and was able to photograph the rest of the apparatus as well as a few units which have been renumbered (Squad 255 and Tanker 270). Among the photos is a 1928 antique American LaFrance engine and a new Medtec ambulance that was delivered recently.
