Fire Muster and Flea Market in Chicago (more)

This from Steve Redick:

Had a great day Saturday attending the annual Fire Buffs of Illinois/ 5-11 Club muster. Attendance seemed down this year and the amount of rigs seemed very low compared to previous years but nonetheless it was a great and fun day. Here is a sampling of some of the “hardware” I was able to see. Great to see the Skokie/Engine 87 Club Mack again this year after a lengthy absence. All the images and video can be seen on my site

2015 Chicago Fire Engine Rally & Swap Meet (more highlights)

This from Steve Redick:

Saturday was the big day. The weather was kinda poor for most of the show .. little sun. Turnout was also kinda sparse. I did really enjoy the parade and what there was to see. I imagine it is a thankless and difficult job to set all this up and it is a credit to the hardworking members who selflessly put this together every year.
