Crabby- high expansion foam nozzle attatchment. Very cool rig!! C95’s were pretty awesome.

Nice one there. What is that thing that looks like a bowling pin where the hard suction hose normally sits?

I believe this was North Palos’s first “cab-forward” apparatus, and it’s purchase necessitated the building of the 1st of two additions to its current main station at 106th and Roberts Road. If you look closely, the air bottles are mounted in “see-thru” cabinets on the side of the rig. A little unusual. Also Chicago Ridge bought a similar Mack engine (1st diesel in Illinois) around the same time.
