Hello,
With all the fuss about Frankfort buying a Snorkel, here is an old photo of Frankfort’s first Snorkel.  Unknown manufacturer/type/height, but still great to look at.  Sold in later years to the Robbins Fire Department.  Hope you enjoy,
Mike S.

This from Dylan Konchan:

Engine 74 is a 2014 Pierce Arrow XT. It is acting as Engine 72 for the time being, so Truck 72 could get repaired. When it goes to Station 4, a hard suction will be put on the front bumper of the engine to make it a drafting engine in rural tender ops.
