Luke Whalen just shared some really cool old photos of fire apparatus from different areas. He mentioned that all the photos belong to their respective owners, and he wanted to share them with us. Thanks, Luke!

These photos are fascinating because they show how fire departments across the country have evolved over time. It’s always interesting to see how equipment moves between states or counties. If anyone has similar stories or photos to share, let me know!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
