The end of an era for the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (formely the Vernon Township Fire Protection District) as they recently sold their two remaining Seagrave units. What was an all Seagrave department many years ago now has a full Pierce fleet. One of the units sold was the 1996 Seagrave 100′ rear-mount quint that was replaced last year at Station 53 by a new Pierce unit. The second unit sold was Engine 51R, a 1992 Seagrave with a 1,500-GPM pump and 1,000 gallons of water.
Truck 53 was sold to the Mount Washington Fire Protection District in Kentucky.
Engine 51R was purchased by the Locke Township Fire Department in Salisbury, NC.
Prior to the current Lincolnshire-Riverwoods apparatus fleet were several Seagrave units. When these units were purchased, the department name was the Vernon Township Fire Protection District.
