Oak Lawn Fire Department history

This from Mike Summa:

Here is a picture of Oak Lawn Truck 12, a 1970’s rear mount aerial.  This was built by American Fire Apparatus of Battle Creek, Michigan. I believe this was built on a low-profile Oshkosh chassis.  Enjoy and comment.

Chicago 2-11 Alarm Fire 8-3-13 (more)

This from Eric Haak:

Here are a few of my shots from the 2-11 at the corner of Harrison & Spaulding.  Engine 107 was first due and is shown parked on Spaulding.  The rear wall collapsed within the first 15 minutes of 107’s arrival.  Also shown is Engine 44 which was feeding Tower Ladder 5 on Harrison just west of Spaulding.  Also seen are 2 images of sector 1 of the auto detailing shop.  There were two overhead doors in sector 1.  In one image, there was a 1960’s vintage Cadillac parked right behind that door.  The fourth image is just after a portion of the roof collapsed.
