This from Mike Summa:
This was the Olympia Gardens Mack engine. I do not know specs, but I think it could be X South Chicago Hts. This department was near Western Ave. and Joe Orr Road near Chicago Heights and went out of business in the 90’s.

Former Olympia Gardens Volunteer Fire Department Station at 2250 205th St Chicago Heights Illinois.
This department was disbanded in late 1990s. I looked inside to see if there would be a rig or anything FD. What I found were bikes, desks, and other school related items. I’m guessing the church/school across the street runs the building now.Station photo from Kevin Griffin and Sign photo from me.
