This from Martin Nowak:
Former Olympia Gardens Volunteer Fire Department Station at 2250 205th St Chicago Heights Illinois.
This department was disbanded in late 1990s. I looked inside to see if there would be a rig or anything FD. What I found were bikes, desks, and other school related items. I’m guessing the church/school across the street runs the building now.Station photo from Kevin Griffin and Sign photo from me.

The fire district sold off all the equipment I would say around 2007-2008. They are still a district on paper contracted to Chicago Heights from the conversation I had with the trustee. They were cleaning out the station to let the Church across the street utilize it for storage. I picked up a old scott pack for a keep sake.

Saw some interesting pictures in these posts about historic fire stations. Why look at pictures if you can own the real McCoy! Original 1896 fire barn available with unlimited potential for a business, office, or residential use. Check out http://www.ElginFireHouse.com for details. Potentially the best fire department clubhouse in North America!
