Where are they now … Roberts Park & North Palos

Several former fire trucks from Illinois are now stationed in Mexico, as documented by Karl Klotz. These vehicles, once part of local fire departments, have found new homes across the border.

These trucks represent a unique connection between U.S. and Mexican fire services, showing how equipment can be repurposed and shared across borders. It's fascinating to see how these once-local vehicles have found new purpose in a different country, continuing their service in a new environment.
