Another submission from Steve Redick:
This time we're featuring a suburban fire scene...It was a box or second-alarm response from the old Battalion 7, now known as Division 20. The location was either Maywood or Bellwood—I'm not entirely sure which. There are some action shots here, and I hope someone might recognize some of the firefighters in the photos. I've always had a soft spot for the rigs, especially the ALF water chiefs, but I remember they had their fair share of issues with the local water systems.
Also included are a few photos from a fire in Glenview—a vacant supermarket. The Snorkel shown is the original Glenbrook unit before it was rebuilt.
All of these were taken in the 1980s.

These images give a glimpse into the fire departments of the 80s, capturing both the chaos and the pride of the men and women who served. Whether it's the vintage equipment, the classic rigs, or the determination on the faces of the firefighters, each photo tells a story. If you recognize anyone or have any memories connected to these scenes, feel free to share—history is best remembered together.
