Glenview Fire Department history

Here's a message from Larry Shapiro:

Continuing the conversation about classic Seagrave equipment that served our area—started by Mike Summa—here are some throwback photos of early Seagrave units from Glenview. These vintage fire trucks hold a special place in our local history and remind us of the craftsmanship and dedication of the past.

These images not only showcase the iconic design of Seagrave fire apparatus but also highlight the long-standing relationship between the department and this trusted manufacturer. It's always fascinating to see how these older models compare to today’s technology, and it's a great reminder of where we've come from.
