I recently came across some interesting photos on the SAFX Facebook page, shared by Bill Friedrich, featuring different vehicles from the Oak Park area. The first image shows what appears to be a former command van used by the Oak Park Fire Department. It's a great snapshot of how these vehicles can evolve over time, perhaps transitioning from active duty to other roles within the community.
Following that, there are two images of mobile team vans operated by the Oak Park Department of Public Health. These vans look well-equipped and ready to handle various public health needs, which is crucial for any community. They’re a testament to the department’s commitment to providing accessible healthcare services.
Finally, there’s another photo of an Oak Park Fire Department command van. This one looks particularly sharp in its design, with all the necessary equipment visible in the picture. I love how these photos capture both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of emergency response vehicles.
Big thanks to Josh for sharing this gem of information! It’s always fascinating to see how different departments adapt their resources to meet the needs of their communities. If you have more stories or photos like these, I’d love to hear them!
By the way, if you're into collecting vintage photos or learning about the history of emergency services, these images are pure gold. They remind us of the evolution of technology and planning in public safety over the years. Let me know if you have any similar finds to share!
