A reader has asked for information and specs corresponding to the 1970s series Oshkosh/Pierce/Snorkel that saw service in Elk Grove Village.

Elk Grove Village Fire Department Snorkel.

thanks Scott for supplying the photo

The following is a reprint from a local newspaper when the unit was delivered:

Some will notice that;

the chassis is indicated to be from FWD, but the cab appears to match the Oshkosh units which saw service in Chicago.
the year is not indicated
there’s no mention of a water tank
