For TBT – This was the Oak Forest Fire Dept.’s Car 970, a late 80’s, early 90’s Dodge Ram 4×4. What is the saying?, What is old is new again. Were these popular in the fire service? Current police departments are purchasing Stellantis SUVs for their use. What is your opinion? Enjoy and comment.

This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

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?
