For #throwbackthursday, here is Beecher’s 1960’s ALF/Pioneer. Not too many of this model could be found in the south suburbs. The only other one I ever saw was in Glenwood. Please enjoy and comment.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.

Following up on the Alsip front-mount “bumper pumpers”, here are a few photos of some more Division 2 rigs from the early / mid 80’s. Algonquin-Lake In the Hills Tanker 174, a Pierce/International. Not sure of the year, but I’m reasonably sure the pump is a 750 gpm and the tank is a 3000 gal. I’ve also included a close-up of that pump. Thanks for the chance to share these!
