Olympia Gardens Vol. Fire Dept. History

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.

This from Martin Nowak:

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.
