This message comes from Karl Klotz:
"While browsing through fire apparatus photos on Flickr, I stumbled upon some unusual images—fire trucks from Illinois that have ended up in Mexico."
He shared a few examples, including a Pierce engine that now serves in San Jose del Cabo. Here’s what he found:
X-Morton Grove – Engine 4 (Pierce) – now serving with *los bomberos* in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
Below are some photos of the truck, originally from Morton Grove, Illinois. The first image shows the engine in its current location, proudly displayed as part of the local fire department.

And here’s another view of the truck, still bearing its original markings.

For context, this particular engine was delivered in 1988 and was the 2000th custom chassis built by Pierce. It was a significant milestone for the manufacturer.

Here’s a shot of the engine with its original striping, highlighting its classic design.

Finally, here’s a look at the truck in its final years in Illinois, after the vinyl had been removed from the pump panel.

It’s fascinating to see how these pieces of American firefighting history have made their way across borders, continuing to serve in new communities.
