Paying Our Bills

We rely on the towns we serve and the folks we protect for operating funds. These funds go towards our fire house, fire trucks and proper gear for our firefighters. In addition to those contributions, we have our own fund raising efforts.

Here you can help support us at the same time you get some cool shirts designed by an "Outsider" Surrealist artist. Read more about the artist and the designs.

About These Shirt Designs

The designs for these shirts were done by Chicago area artist Bart Powers. Bart Powers is an "Outsider" / Surrealist Artist whose subjects range from Jazz scenes to Urban-Industrial transportation images. See his website www.BartPowers.com for more info.

Bart's childhood was punctuated by fond memories of a family member retelling accounts of being a Chicago fireman. These memories and an appreciation for the beauty of classic and current fire engines lead to the creation of these designs.

33 Studebaker 68 Dodge Powerwagon The subjects for these designs are the actual trucks used by our fire department in the past. The antique is a 1933 Studebaker and the classic is a 1968 Dodge Power Wagon. Working from vintage photos, Bart created his designs in his own style. Click the image to see a larger version.
