Vacation Fire Station/Apparatus photos: Indianapolis and Chicago

[LaurenSkye]

I recently took a weekend trip to Chicago with a stop in Indianapolis on the way and took these photos of fire stations and apparatus. First the Indianapolis picures.

Indianapolis Station 13-located on the west side of Downtown and is first due to Mile Square, IUPUI, and Gainbridge Arena.
Indianapolis Squad 13-Squads in Indy are both light rescues and first due on EMS calls and are placed in busy areas.

Good shots from Chicago, glad to see you got them in their regular apparatus. Lots of companies running spares, some more than 20 years of age.
