Character, style and personalization epitomize the Mack B95 pumpers that served Chicago throughout the 1950's and 60's.

Over 18 months, each of the hundreds of intricately detailed parts are designed, cast or fabricated, painted, decorated, and trimmed...then organized in small bins, ready for assembly. There is no substitute for the laborious tasks that each of the 35 skilled men and women perform. It is a sight to see as each team member patiently adheres each part to another, consistently analyzing the end result. As you scroll down the assembly pictures, take notice of the parts on each workstation and you will gain a greater appreciation for the process. And don't forget to add these Classic Chicago pumpers to your collection.

Engine Co 13's History by Joe O'Brien

The 1956 Mack B95 used by Chicago were equipped with 200-gallon tanks, this was a first for Chicago engines so the placement of these Engine’s was well thought out. These Mack’s also ran frontline for 20 years, over time the shops would retro fit some of them with booster reels, and square sidewalls over the rear wheels. Tiger stripes also appeared on bumpers, the shops would eventually replace the lights with aurora borealis, and even add large white numbers on the doors. Engine 13 was organized in 1867. The first steamer “A.D. Titsworth”. The firehouse located on the NE corner of Washington and Dearborn was a former volunteer station. The building did not survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. In 1872 a new 3 story single bay brick firehouse opened at 209 N. Dearborn just north of Lake Street and south of the river. If you picked up the 1972 Fire Replicas Engine 13 this would be a great addition to show the changes from 1956 to 1972 in your collection. Check out the bumper plate on Engine 13.
