Classic engine at Darien-Woodridge
On Tuesday, we shared the news about the addition of the **Darien-Woodridge Fire District** to our site. Among the apparatus displayed at Station 2 was an unusual antique fire engine with a rich and fascinating history. Jack Connors has generously provided us with detailed information about this historic unit, along with some great photos.
This engine is a **1949 Oshkosh/Howe** pumper, equipped with a 1,000-GPM pump and a 1,200-gallon water tank. The chassis is an Oshkosh Model W-2201, with serial number **3541**, and the Howe serial number is **HR-10-7961**. It's a rare piece of firefighting history that has seen several decades of service across different departments.

The engine first served at the **Argonne National Laboratory** in Argonne, Illinois. After its time there, it was transferred to **Grandview Park**, which was later annexed by **Oak Lawn**. Eventually, it found its way to the **Belmont Fire District**, which later merged into the **Darien-Woodridge Fire District**.
*The engine currently has a Darien-Woodridge Fire District decal replacing the Belmont Fire Protection District name on the door. The Belmont name still resides on the hood. Jack Connors collection.*
It’s always interesting to see how these vintage pieces are preserved and repurposed over time. This engine is a testament to the legacy of early fire apparatus and the communities that have protected them. Thanks to Jack Connors for sharing his collection and knowledge with us.
