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, the department received a Ford/Darley pumper, which isn't visible in the photo. Before establishing a proper firehouse, 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 equipment and the people who served their community with dedication. The fire engines, like the one shown here, were vital to protecting the town during a time when volunteer efforts played a crucial role in emergency services. It's fascinating to see how far things have come, yet these photos remind us of the strong roots and commitment that built the foundation of modern firefighting.
