Found this neat picture on the Midlothian FD facebook page. A great picture of their department from the 1960’s. I do think the Ford sitting there is an old Chicago Fire Patrol truck from the 50’s. Please comment and enjoy.

Hello,This was part of the Miller Woods Fire Protection District near Steger, Illinois. I believe it to be a mid-1960s GMC van. I know that it’s not a fire truck, but I just think that it’s neat looking. Unique. I hope that others will enjoy,Thank you,Mike S.

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.
