A reader has asked for information and specs corresponding to the 1970s series Oshkosh/Pierce/Snorkel that saw service in Elk Grove Village.
Elk Grove Village Fire Department Snorkel.
thanks Scott for supplying the photo
The following is a reprint from a local newspaper when the unit was delivered:

- the year is not indicated
- there’s no mention of a water tank
