For #ThrowbackThursday, we're taking a look back at some classic images from the Melrose Park Fire Department. These photos capture the history and evolution of firefighting equipment that once served the community with dedication and courage.
This vintage Cadillac ambulance, seen here in its early days, was one of the many vehicles that helped protect residents over the years. The image was taken by Larry Shapiro, who has documented the department's legacy through his photography.
Another shot shows a classic ambulance, also captured by Shapiro, highlighting the timeless design and functionality of these life-saving machines. These vehicles were essential in responding to emergencies and saving lives during their time in service.
Here’s a glimpse of a vintage Ford C-Series fire engine, a sturdy and reliable apparatus that played a key role in the department’s operations. The Mack CF fire engine, another iconic piece of equipment, was known for its power and durability, making it a staple on the fireground.
The 3-boom Seagrave Snorkel is a fascinating example of older technology used for high-rise fires, allowing firefighters to reach upper floors without needing to climb. The Grumman AerialCat tower ladder was another advanced piece of equipment, offering extended reach and versatility in emergency situations.
These images not only showcase the history of the Melrose Park Fire Department but also remind us of the bravery and commitment of those who served. Thanks to Larry Shapiro for preserving these moments in time.
