From Phil Stenholm: Another installment in the History of the Evanston Fire Department In 1965, Chief Lester Breitzman and the platoon commanders were equipped with Motorola HT-200 portable two-way radios. This allowed them to move freely on the fireground, eliminating the need for a driver/radio operator on each platoon. As a result, the firefighters who had previously driven F-2 were reassigned to Squad 21, becoming its fourth member on each shift. When using the radios, the chief used the call sign “F-1-X,†while the platoon commander was “F-2-X.†Eventually, company officers also received handie-talkies, with their call signs like “Engine 23-X†or “Squad 21-X†when operating on portable units. Wayne Anderson became Evanston’s city manager in 1963. With Squad 21 back in frontline service, responding with four personnel to all calls, Bert Johnson’s Police-Fire Cooperative Plan was quietly phased out by 1965. However, the three police station wagon ambulances remained in use for inhalator calls and ambulance runs. While police officers no longer acted as firefighters regularly, they still received basic firefighting training. The EFD added three new station wagons between 1964 and 1966. These included a 1964 Plymouth (F-3), assigned to a Fire Prevention Bureau inspector during business hours and garaged at Station #5 when not in use; a 1965 Dodge (F-5), assigned to the Training Officer at Station #1; and a 1966 Ford (F-1), assigned to Chief Breitzman at Station #2. All were equipped with stretchers and first-aid kits, serving as backup ambulances alongside the police station wagons. F-2, the 1963 Plymouth used by the platoon commander, was no longer an ambulance after its driver was transferred to Squad 21 in 1965. However, F-1 always had a driver, and F-3 was staffed by Engine 25 when needed, while F-5 was manned by the fourth member of Squad 21 or Truck 21. Squad 21, F-1, and F-3 were also equipped with fracture boards, making them the go-to units for incidents involving spinal or neck injuries. In 1965, the EFD retired Reserve Engine 26, the oldest rig in service, a 1927 Seagrave Standard 1000 / 50 TCP. It was converted into playground equipment by EFD mechanics and placed in Firemen’s Park. The previous spring, the department had used a nearby vacant church for live burn drills. Chief Breitzman requested a new, more useful squad rig in 1964. He proposed converting the existing 1952 Pirsch squad into a triple-combination pumper by replacing its body with a standard pumper. After conversion, it became Engine 22, equipped with a 18,000-pound winch, auxiliary pump, 300-gallon tank, modern lights, and a hose bed with pre-connected 1-1/2 inch hose lines. Instead of buying a new squad, City Manager Anderson opted for a cheaper alternative: repurposing a garbage truck. The city purchased four International-Harvester R-190 garbage trucks in 1965. A custom-built squad body, winch, pump, and lighting system were added, and EFD mechanics assembled everything at Station #1. The project cost $13,000, with parts sourced from various vendors, including General Body Co., known for building unique vehicles like the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. General Body Co. fabricated the squad body based on a design used for the Niles Fire Department. The new Squad 21 was completed in April 1966 and quickly became the busiest unit in the EFD, handling inhalator calls, minor fires, and rescue operations across the city. It also operated the DUKW amphibious vehicle when needed. In August 1966, the former Squad 21 was reconfigured as Engine 22, replacing the older 1949 Seagrave pumper. The new engine featured a hose bed with 250-foot leads of 1-1/2 inch hose, along with 1,500 feet of 2-1/2 inch and 300 feet of 3-inch hose. It was the first EFD pumper to eliminate hard suction hose. Squad 21 and Engine 22 were marked with military-style graphics and gold shields, later changed to black with gold lettering. The older FL-8 and DX-40 warning lights were replaced with more visible white/red beacons around this time. In 1966, Reserve Engine 28 at Station #4 failed its pump test, and Engine 27 at Station #3 had a blown engine. To keep Engine 27 running, EFD mechanics transferred the motor from Engine 28, which was then dismantled for spare parts.
It is mainly installed on the front and rear ends of the bus body. It is divided into electric wiper and pneumatic wiper. It is composed of a metal lever and a rubber pad. It is huge in size and durable in material selection. The size can be customized according to requirements.
