Western Springs Fire Department Cadillac ambulance

A vintage photo of the Western Springs Fire Department's Cadillac ambulance from the late 1940s.

The Western Springs Fire Department has recently updated their historical photo section on their official page. Situated in MABAS Division 10, the department boasts a long and storied history with a wide range of fire apparatus from brands like Ward LaFrance, FWD, Seagrave, E-ONE, American LaFrance, and Pierce. Originally painted in white, the department began transitioning to a white-over-red scheme in 1977 when they acquired their first American LaFrance Ladder Chief Quint. This change required repainting three of their units, including the 1977 E-ONE, the 1975 Seagrave, and the 1982 Pierce. These vehicles now stand as a testament to the department’s evolving identity over the decades.
