Prospect Heights Fire District history

This message comes from Drew Smith:

Assuming this photo was taken in 1946, the pumper on the left is believed to be a 1926 model that was purchased used in 1945. The original firehouse was constructed by volunteers in 1948 and that same year they received a Ford/Darley pumper, which isn't visible in the photo. Before the firehouse was built, the equipment was stored either in or behind a gas station—now long gone and destroyed in the late 1970s—located at the northwest corner of Elmhurst Road (IL Route 83) and Camp McDonald Road.

These images offer a glimpse into the early days of the Prospect Heights Fire Department, capturing both the vehicles and the brave individuals who served their community. The fire engines from the 1940s represent an important part of local history, showing how the department evolved over time. It's fascinating to see how much has changed, yet how the spirit of service remains strong.
