It’s Thursday, here is an old picture of Blue Island’s first motorized firetruck. Competition was just as important back then as today. With the city council divided on which company was better, Seagrave or American LaFrance. Please enjoy and comment.

This is the Wheaton Fire Dept.’s E402. A 1970’s Seagrave with unknown specs. I do not know a thing about Wheaton, so feel free to fill in the blanks. Picture is from a fire muster in Wheaton in the early 90’s.Mike Summa
