As seen around … Robbins

Here's a message from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:

This is an out-of-service photo of the X-Calumet Park ambulance, unit 2262. It was later replaced by a 2002 Ford/Marque ambulance that I believe was originally assigned to Crystal Lake, though I haven't confirmed this yet.
Interestingly, this ambulance had an earlier history with the Garden Homes Fire Protection District, located just outside of Alsip, Illinois.
The image of the ambulance in its original home with Garden Homes was taken by Bill Friedrich.

This collection of photos and notes gives a glimpse into the history of these vintage ambulances, showing how they transitioned between different fire districts over time. It’s always fascinating to see how equipment moves around and gets repurposed. The details shared here are valuable for anyone interested in the history of emergency services in the Chicago area.
