Blue Island Fire Department history

This from Mike Summa:

Hello,
Here are two pictures from the Blue Island Fire Department.  The first is the former Engine 2123, it’s a 1987 Spartan/Darley 1500/500.  The second is Blue Island’s Ford ambulance.  Both pictures show the equipment carried on each rig.  Please feel free to comment, I hope that you will enjoy.
Thank you,
Mike S.

Calumet Park FD history

This from Muke Summa:

Hello,
I have a picture of an 800 series American La France pumper from Calumet Park.  I remember my parents taking me to a carnival in Cal Park where this truck and a shiny new Cadillac ambulance were sitting.  The carnival was a fundraiser for these two emergency vehicles.  Wasn’t sure how this how things were done, back then?  If anyone knows the specs on this, please feel free to add.
Thank you,
Mike S.
