For TBT – The 1970’s were popular for Dodge/Pierce mini-pumpers. Here are three from the south suburbs:

Mokena FPD’s 1518, a 1975 Dodge/Pierce 300/250

Matteson FD’s #7, a 1975 Dodge/Pierce 300/300

Glenwood FD’s 401, a 1976 Dodge 4×4/Marion 400/250

For TBT-Here is a photo of Matteson Engine 3, a 1957 ALF 1000 gpm open cab pumper. It was the first post war purchase for this department. It was retired in 1991. Next to it is Engine 6, a 1973 Seagrave 1250/500. This picture not mine, but found on Matteson Fire Dept. website.
