From Skokie Fire Department Firefighter’s Local 3033 Facebook:
We are officially saying goodbye to our 1993 Luverne Squad/Pumper. This rig has valiantly served us for many years “Squad 18” and as our reserve squad apparatus for when our frontline goes in for routine maintenance. A big thank you from all of us for being so reliable for so many years.
