This striking image features one of only two Hi-Ranger aerial ladder trucks in the greater Chicago area outside of the Chicago Fire Department. The unit, designated as Truck 765, was a notable part of the South Chicago Heights fleet. It would be incredible to see more photos of this rig in action, capturing its service during real emergencies. Adding such images to the gallery would bring the department's history to life even more.
