I was looking for this comment specifically. Good job.

It’s got a “tight fit”

Holy shit, your comment has 69 likes right now. I won't ruin it.

@@Schorschi081bad news but somebody just had to have their finger on the button

112 what’s your emergency?

Backdraft 1991 and The Fugitive 1993.!!!

That moment when you back in the wrong way and clip the mirror,

Trash trucks DOT and more, And some roblox CHIEF I SWEAR THE GARAGE GOT SMALLER

OwO it barely fits

Because it wasn't built for an engine that size. I'm gonna guess and say that station went up in the '40s, maybe early '50s. We're finally getting rid of some of those sized stations here in Los Angeles.

@@randymcnary308 Not even close. That station was probably built in the late 1800’s.

That was so nice of him. Love that movie since I was a kid! CFD

@salopio salo great info, thanks!

they used the out or service engines i’m pretty sure which would be these engines lol

That IS the EXACT engine from Backdraft!

Nooooooooo??????? I woulda never noticed if you hadn't said that. What's lol worthy anyway? Backdraft sucked!

This was engine 18 before filming, 17 in the film then after filming it went back into service but as engine 69. Engine 18 now is the home of Chicago fire engine 51 (which was also on backdraft)

this was in the 90's pre-1996 when the new 911 center opened up. this particular engine was used in the movie Backdraft (from what the guys working there told me back in 1994).

The way they answer 911 back then

@@CharlesEzakichi pretty cool. It looks just like Engine 17 from Backdraft. Was it in the final scene when they had all those trucks outside the industrial fire?

@@bryce6744 it could have been, they had tow of these that they used for engine 17 in the movie.

February 7, 1994

also me

That's what we had at my old fire department in 2012 lol. I think the engine was like a 96. Cant remember the make.

@@STALKYNOTE we're still running a 1974 Bean cab over engine with 4 on the floor has a 532 CI V8 gas. Our tanker is a Ford 9000 with a 2 stroke Detroit diesel.

Drop two and hold da Squad!

Haha nice catch.

Funny!!

What the....???

Which one is Jack?

@@robertbrooks7001 He's the guy answering on the "one-arm".

Yeah! He didn't even stop for the stop sign and drove into oncoming traffic. Omg

@@mr.joseph7806 Like Kentland Fire Department in Maryland.

@@enriquerobinson9286 is that where the fire truck was broad sided by the other fire truck?

@@mr.joseph7806 I will have to look it up, don't know for sure.

@@mr.joseph7806 but they do wrecked a lot of apparatus

American Lafrance as well. Although 21st Century ALF was crap compared to the likes of the American LaFrance 700 and Century series rigs.

@@gonuts4donuts Agree

@@gonuts4donuts yes, the original ALFs were great trucks. The newer ones not so much.

@@brianverbanickjr.5551 yes, for sure!

What?so you have driven 70s, 80s , 90s and 2000s era trucks?

@@bradleydunn3640 yes

What accent? I ain't got no accent! YOUUU got da fuqqin accent! 😂😂

Early/mid 80s im guessing

@@turtledude553 Cool, thanks!

This is from 1990-1996. Engine 69 seen in the video was a Ward LaFrance P80 Ambassador rebuilt in 1990 with an enclosed Ranger crew cab and E-One body. There were six identical trucks with various Engine companies and the last was withdrawn from Chicago FD service in 1996. That engine was one of I believe two Ward/Ranger rigs to portray Engine 17 in the movie Backdraft

GoNuts4Donuts engine 69s truck was engine 17 in the movie, there was another one like this they used for engine 51 this likely had to be after backdraft was filmed

February 7, 1994

Because of the way the dispatcher was talking to the caller and stuff I assume that this was staged. It

@@LancasterResponding No there is footage of them at the fire as mentioned above...It was taken down wish we still had it around...there were other companies at the fire as well

Don’t quote me, not a CFD historian, but if i recall correctly in the days pre1996 just the closest station was initially dispatched, and if the company arrived on scene to a working fire then they would upgrade it

@@RbD169Productions You may be right, got my thinking now.

Yes, even in the early 90's a still alarm would have been 2 engines 2 trucks and a chief.

No shit...

It's on daily motion. Google Chicago E 69, or the address they give out.

Most likely they were marked as a first due engine company. When the engine arrives on scene, the Lieutenant on the engine establishes on scene command and gives a size up, analyzing the structural integrity of the building, how many floors, how many people are inside. Once the size up has been completed then the lieutenant calls for a truck company to assist the Engine company with ventilation and entry, once the Truck company arrives, the Ladder lieutenant instructs their crew to ventilate and make forced entry into the building with the Engine Company. Once entry has been established, their next job is to begin a search inside for any occupants that could be trapped inside. Once all residents are safely accounted for, the Engine lieutenant calls for an ambulance while the engine crew go interior with a 2" line and combat the fire from the inside. Once the fire has been extinguished, The Engine and Truck lieutenant instruct their crews to start overhaul procedures, such as gathering up lines, unhooking from the hydrant, using the pike pole to check for possible hotspots, etc. Once overhaul procedures have been completed, both the Engine and Ladder company lieutenants will terminate their command and return to quarters while the ambulance transports to the hospital.

You watch for the fire department

@@donovan9356 that makes more sense XD

“Watch for the fire department, get out of the building”?

Watch

That’s crazy! Imagine that, things in the movie about the Chicago FD look like things in the Chicago FD, wild! Moron.

It's a federal signal pa300

@@pafireenthusiast8486 thanks

@@pafireenthusiast8486 I'm also trying to figure out what siren they use in the Chicago Fire TV series

@@brendanstovall9489 Don't watch the show anymore. I know in the earlier seasons they used the Motorola Spectra, and later switched to the Federal Signal Smart Siren.

He was whipping it...

That dude is old enough to have driven a horse drawn wagon so i doubt he cares, lol.

@@TR-Mead - he's actually 29 years old, he just looks older from driving that way. LOL

He was driving before you so...

@@robertbrooks7001 - Yeah so, it still doesn't make him a better driver. What I saw was a very unsafe driver, driving a machine with probably 750 gallons of extra weight which makes it very hard to stop in time.
