These trucks, once part of local emergency services in Illinois, have been repurposed and continue to serve in Mexican communities. Their presence highlights the cross-border exchange of equipment and the shared commitment to public safety. Whether it's a Mack or a Ford model, these fire trucks still play a vital role in protecting lives and property far from their original home.
