This from Mike Summa:

Here is a photo of Chicago Ridge Engine 3, a 1950’s Mack B.  Picture taken off  the Ridge’s facebook.  Identity of firemen not known.  I was surprised, as I did not know Chicago Ridge was a Fire Protection District.  Enjoy and comment.

This from Steve Redick:

Had a great day Saturday attending the annual Fire Buffs of Illinois/ 5-11 Club muster. Attendance seemed down this year and the amount of rigs seemed very low compared to previous years but nonetheless it was a great and fun day. Here is a sampling of some of the “hardware” I was able to see. Great to see the Skokie/Engine 87 Club Mack again this year after a lengthy absence. All the images and video can be seen on my site
