Frankfort Fire Protection District history
This is a throwback Thursday post from Mike Summa featuring the Frankfort Fire Protection District’s Engine 721. It's a 1988 Spartan Gladiator paired with an E-One firefighting apparatus, packing a 1500-gallon-per-minute pump and a 750-gallon water tank. Mike shared this gem for all to enjoy—feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments!

Switching gears slightly, here’s another blast from the past from our archives. This time, it’s Moraine Valley Community College’s Fire Science Program Engine 3, also built in 1988. It features a Spartan chassis mated to an E-One 500-750 X. The photo below was captured by none other than Bill Friedrich.

And rounding out today’s trip down memory lane, we have Frankfort FPD Engine 711. Another 1988 Spartan Gladiator coupled with an E-One 1500-750 firefighting rig. This classic beauty was photographed by the talented Larry Shapiro, who has a keen eye for capturing these vintage beauties.
These trucks aren’t just pieces of equipment—they’re symbols of firefighting history and the dedication of those who served before us. Let me know what you think about these rigs in the comments! If you’ve got any personal stories or photos of similar trucks, I’d love to hear them.
