MABAS Division 24 history

This from Mike Summa for #TBT:

For TBT- At one time the Third District, now MABAS 24 housed their Haz Mat truck at Oak Forest Station 2. # 9901, a 1970’s Ford F series pulling a trailer of unknown origin.  The Ford looks to be a retired Northern Illinois Gas truck.  If anyone knows differently please feel free to add your opinion.
