Oak Forest and Midlothian Fire Department history

Sure! Here's a rewritten version of the content: --- I came across this interesting post from Mike Summa for #TBT. It’s one of those throwback moments that brings back memories of the old school firefighting days. > "For today’s Throwback Thursday (#TBT), let’s talk about two fire departments that once stood side by side, both equipped with the same type of gear. On one side, we have the Oak Forest Engine 94, a 1971 FWD/Pierce model with a 1250 GPM pump and a 54-foot snorkel. Across the street, there was Midlothian Engine 2, a 1973 Seagrave with a 1250 GPM pump and a 54-foot snorkel. Unfortunately, the Oak Forest engine has since been retired, but Midlothian didn’t let theirs go to waste. In 1994, they decided to refurbish it with a brand-new Pierce Arrow cab and upgraded its engine to a 1500 GPM pump with a 500-gallon tank. Does anyone else remember these classic 'Squirts'? Let me know if you’ve seen any others like them!" Mike Summa really nailed it with this post. It’s fascinating how much some of these older rigs have evolved over time while still maintaining their classic charm. He even shared some photos to give us a better look at what he’s talking about. The first image shows a vintage Seagrave 54-foot snorkel. It’s hard not to admire the sleek design and attention to detail in the way it was built. The second photo captures another Seagrave 54-foot snorkel, this time looking a bit more modernized after its restoration. And then there’s the third image, which features the updated Pierce Arrow 54-foot snorkel—clearly a beast on wheels with its powerful engine and enhanced capabilities. Finally, the last picture shows the Midlothian engine in action, spraying water from its 54-foot snorkel. You can almost feel the power radiating off the screen! These images really bring the nostalgia factor home. If you’re into firefighting history or just appreciate classic vehicles, this post is definitely worth checking out. Let’s hope we see more throwbacks like this one in the future! --- This version adds some personal touches, expands slightly, and flows naturally as if written by a real person.
