"While browsing through fire apparatus photos on Flickr, I stumbled upon some interesting rigs from Illinois that have found their way down to Mexico."
Here’s what he shared:
X-Morton Grove- Engine 4 (Pierce) – now serving with *los bomberos* in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
Below are a few images showing the transformation of this engine over time. The first photo shows the unit in its current location, now part of the Mexican fire department.

Another shot of the same engine, still in service in Mexico.

And here’s another image capturing the engine in its new home.

For context, here’s how the engine looked when it was originally delivered in 1988. This was the 2000th custom chassis built by Pierce.

Here’s a close-up of the engine’s striping, showing its original appearance.

Finally, this image shows the engine in its later years in Illinois, with the vinyl removed from the pump panel.

It's fascinating to see how these pieces of American fire equipment end up being used in different parts of the world.
