As historical galleries are added to more fire departments that are represented on the site, we are pleased to be adding images that Karl Klotz has begun to scan from his collection. There is quite a bit of work involved to scan, collate, and label the image files that come in, and Karl’s images are a welcome addition. Here are just two of the images that have been submitted for inclusion in future galleries.

East Joliet Fire Department TeleSqurt

Hendrickson/Pierce/TeleSqurt from East Joliet. Karl Klotz collection

Richton Park Fire Department engine

Richton Park Engine 27 on a Hendrickson chassis with an 1871-W cab. Karl Klotz collection
