Elmhurst added to the site

The Elmhurst Fire Department, located within MABAS Division 12, has now been added to our website. Dennis McGuire, Jr. generously provided the photos showcasing their fleet. Recently, Elmhurst transitioned from their longstanding color scheme of white over school bus yellow with green stripes to a more classic white-over-red design. Additionally, they swapped out their E-ONE apparatus for new Pierce vehicles. It’s worth noting that while EMS units are operated by contract personnel, the fire suppression units are manned by full-time career firefighters. One of the most recent additions to their fleet is a striking Pierce engine, which has quickly become a staple at emergency scenes. The department's commitment to modernization is evident not only in their choice of vehicles but also in their updated livery, which reflects a nod to tradition while embracing progress. For those interested in the history of firefighting in Elmhurst, it’s fascinating to look back at some of the older apparatus that once served the community. Previously, the department utilized a diverse range of manufacturers including American LaFrance, Pierce, Mack, and Darley for their engines. Their aerial units included two 100-foot rear-mounted Pirsch ladders, which were stalwarts of the fleet for many years. If we take a step back in time, one can appreciate the evolution of firefighting equipment. For instance, there was a 1974 Hendrickson 1871S/Pierce Suburban engine equipped with a powerful 1,500-gallon-per-minute (GPM) pump and 500 gallons of onboard water. This vehicle represented cutting-edge technology when it first rolled out. Another iconic piece of history is the 1971 American LaFrance 1000 Series engine, featuring a robust 1,250-GPM pump and a similar water capacity. These vehicles were built to withstand the rigors of firefighting and played a crucial role in maintaining the safety of Elmhurst residents. Looking at their aerial units, the department once boasted a 1978 Mack CF/Pirsch combination truck, which underwent refurbishment in 1992 by RPI. This vehicle sported a 100-foot rear-mounted aerial ladder and a 250-GPM PTO pump with 150 gallons of water. Another notable aerial unit was the 1981 Pirsch ladder truck, also restored by RPI in 1992, which contributed significantly to the department’s firefighting capabilities. These historical pieces of equipment highlight the rich heritage of the Elmhurst Fire Department, underscoring how far they’ve come in terms of innovation and capability. It’s inspiring to see such dedication to service and progress reflected in both their past and present fleets.
