Former Peotone FPD squad for sale (more)

Check out more from Danny Nelms about the former Peotone FPD unit up for sale:

A post shared on the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus of America (SPAAMFAA) gave a detailed history of this unique piece of fire apparatus:

Originally from Ardmore, Pennsylvania;
 
ALF 700 tda, Huber Heights, Ohio. A 1984 Pierce Arrow retractor/refurb, job number F1271.
 
In 1995, the tractor was converted into its current form with an Ideal Beverage body, and then later refurbished in 2000 by RPI before being sold to Peotone, Illinois.
 
Before the current owner, it was used by a company called Qualified Spill Response, which went out of business. It seems like the current owner picked it up when the company folded.

This vintage fire apparatus has a rich history, having served multiple departments over the years. From its original home in Ardmore, PA, to its time in Huber Heights, OH, and finally to Peotone, IL, it's clear that this unit has seen a lot. The fact that it was acquired by a new owner after the previous company went under adds another layer to its story. With several high-quality photos from different angles and eras, it’s easy to see why this piece is of interest to fire apparatus enthusiasts. If you're a collector or just appreciate the history of firefighting equipment, this could be a real gem worth checking out.
