Hello,

This is Dixmoor’s Squad 2405. It is a 1990 IHC/Frontline Squad. Since they went out of business, I don’t know what became of it. Just wanted to share,

Enjoy,

–Mike Summa

This from Mike Summa:

Hello,

This is from the Dixmoor Fire Department. It is a 1953 Chevy/DARLEY 500-GPM panel truck. The booster inside is 200 feet of 1 1/2 inch hose. I guess for it’s time, this was state-of-the-art and fit the requirements of this department. Hope you enjoy,

Mike S.

He submitted a few images from that morning along with a video clip. Dennis also provided a historic overview of their most recent and past apparatus which will follow tomorrow.
