Evergreen Park Fire Department 1965 Pirsch mid-mount quint

Bill Friedrich shared this image of the unit as it was deployed in Evergreen Park, matching the department’s yellow firetrucks. This 1965 mid-ship quint was equipped with a 750-GPM pump, 250 gallons of water, and a 65-foot ladder. The truck, known as Truck 32, also featured a Federal Q siren and two 888 warning lights on the fenders, along with a roof beacon, making it a classic example of mid-20th-century fire apparatus.

Another photo from Bill Friedrich shows the same truck after it was repainted black over red by a local shop. The Federal Q siren had been relocated from the fender to the bumper, reflecting changes made over time to keep the vehicle up to date with evolving standards and aesthetics.

These images provide a fascinating look at how fire departments adapted their equipment through the decades, preserving both functionality and style.
