Bill Friedrich informs us of two area departments that have sold older engines that are no longer in services.
Both sales were handled by B&P Fire Apparatus.

The Addison Fire Department elevated a fire in a commercial building at 2150 Executive Drive to a Second Alarm on Saturday afternoon. John Tulipano went to the scene and reported that the fire was in a lazar cutting machine inside a large commercial building. Temperatures were 95+ degrees.
John submitted a few images from the scene.
John has a few more images which can be found HERE.

In what is the largest photo gallery to date, a recent history of the Addison Fire District apparatus and stations has been added to the site, which is accessible from the ‘Historic gallery’ button on the pages for each of the current Addison stations. Trucks dating back to the 1950s are illustrated along with staff cars and ambulances. Images for this gallery were submitted by Bill Friedrich and Larry Shapiro.
There was quite a difference between the 1965 Marion for Squad 107 and the 1994 Pierce that replaced it.

Pages depicting the Addison Fire Department in MABAS Division 12 have been updated with several photos from Bill Friedrich. Stations 1 and 3 have new daytime posed photos to replace the nighttime on-scene images that were posted previously. The new photos show the original unit numbers before the department renumbered the apparatus.
