Greetings. My name is Bill Friedrich. I am on the left. I recently retired after 32 years as a Battalion Chief with the Downers Grove FD,IL. I am a apparatus manufacturer historian specializing in Pierce fire apparatus. I specialize in fire apparatus photos from the City of Chicago, the suburbs, all other areas of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. I hope you all enjoy my work. I have added a new category located in Chicago Metropolitan FDs. Down memory lane showing rigs that used to serve each department. Due to the large amount of counties in Illinois, I have separated the 8 County Metropolitan Area FDs from the remainder of the 102 Counties. ***** I would like to introduce a new Chicagoland Area Fire Department website that I am participating in with 4 other photographers. Please take a look at it when you are done on this site. www.chicagoareafire.com Here is a link to my friends Shaun Ryan and Chuck Madderom's website. www.fireapparatusphotography.com http://dgfd147.smugmug.com/photos/109365609_Dfdm8-Ti-2.jpg http://dgfd147.smugmug.com/MICHIGAN FDs/ 2010-01-07T12:12:47Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
