In MABAS Division 27, a new historical gallery has been added for the South Chicago Heights Fire Department. This gallery serves as a tribute to the department's rich heritage and includes 15 carefully selected images that capture key moments in its history. Among these is a reproduction of an old photograph showing the original fire station from the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the past.

Another notable image comes from the late Dan Martin, who captured a 1950 Mack Type 45 engine during a local parade. This photograph not only highlights the equipment used by the department but also reflects the community spirit of the time.

This striking image features one of two Hi-Ranger aerial ladders in the greater Chicago area outside of the Chicago Fire Department. The unit, known as Truck 765, was a standout piece of equipment and a symbol of the department’s commitment to public safety. It would be incredible to add more photos of this rig in action to further enrich the gallery and give visitors a better sense of its role in the community.
