For TBT- Two fire departments side by side who have/had the same type of equipment. Oak Forest Engine 94, a 1971 FWD/Pierce 1250/500 w/54′ Squrt. Midlothian Engine 2, a 1973 Seagrave 1250/300 w/ 54′ Squrt. The Oak Forest engine is gone, but Midlothian had Pierce rehab their unit in 1994 with a Pierce Arrow cab and upgrade its engine into 1500/500. Are there any more Squrts out there?Mike Summa

TBT-Before the Ford Explorer and Chevy Tahoe there was the IHC Travelall. Chief buggies, ambulances and rescue squads used this type of vehicle in departments big and small. Here is a 1960’s IHC used by the Midlothian Fire Dept.Mike Summa

I do not know anything about this fire truck. I found it on a website called “I grew up in Midlothian.” What I do know is that firemen and kids have not changed. The dates may change, but firemen are always firemen and kids, well they are always aspiring firemen. Enjoy and comment.Mike Summa
