Here's a message from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
This is an out-of-service photo of the X-Calumet Park, IL ambulance, unit 2262. It was later replaced by a 2002 Ford/Marque unit, which I believe was originally assigned to X-Crystal Lake but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.As for the history of this ambulance, it was originally owned by the Garden Homes Fire Protection District, located in nearby Alsip, IL.The photo showing the ambulance in its original home with Garden Homes FPD was taken by Bill Friedrich.

It’s always fascinating to see how these vehicles move from one department to another over time. This particular ambulance had a long career, first serving Garden Homes FPD and then later being reassigned to Calumet Park. The transition between departments often involves a lot of paperwork, renumbering, and sometimes even repainting. It’s great that Dennis has shared these photos and some background on the unit. If you're into vintage ambulances or historical fire equipment, this is a real gem. Thanks to both Dennis and Bill for preserving these moments and sharing them with the community.
