Glen Ellyn Fire Department history … new home for former Glen Ellyn fire engines

This from Danny Nelms:

After doing some searching on the internet, I found this worth a share.

The two Spartan/3D engines operated by the Glen Ellyn  Vol. Fire Dept. were sold at different times and they both ended up in service in Kentucky within 15 miles of each other. They went to Manchester, KY and Lockards Creek, KY both of which are in Clay County Kentucky.
 
Both rigs were later sold at different times to departments in Oklahoma within 10 miles of each other. Sometimes they go on calls together. 
 
The Lockards Creek rig went to Hitchita, OK in 2018, and Manchester’s went to Paradise Point, OK  this year.
