Garden Homes Fire Protection District history

This week's #TBT comes from Mike Summa, who shares a nostalgic look back at the Garden Homes FPD's Engine 2543—a 1981 Seagrave WB 1500/500 stationed in Bedford Park. It’s always interesting to see how these classic rigs looked in their prime. Enjoy the photo and feel free to share your memories or thoughts below.
