YUP!!!!

Let me know when you Ss I just

People like to yell about how slow some of the big departments are when leaving on calls, especially CFD, FDNY, LAcFD, ect., but this video just reinforces the fact that when lives are actually on the line, they can be out the door before you can blink.

Always quick with "persons reported"

Yeah...CFD and FDNY move like turtles sometimes!!

Thanks!

Lol same

Thanks!

Yeah, it was definitely nice that evening.

Running Code-3 on a cold evening, a few snowflakes. Priceless.

YEAH!!!

Thanks!

That’s what I wanted to, unfortunately there was still a good amount of cars crossing so it would be impossible to make it in time

Thanks!

Thanks!

not assigned there

Thanks!

Chief responds on just about everything.

Nice!

It’s a new rig

no

The Squads are a specialized company. They are a 2 piece, 6 member company. The piece designated "SquadA" is a "box" truck with an elevating platform or"snorkel". The piece designated "Squad " is a "box" or closed utility body. IIRC, 4 on the squad and 2 on the A unit.

Between the 2 pieces, they carry a variety of tools and equipment.

No idea and thanks!

1930s, was built as a single bay, other half added a little later

@@alarmoffice711 wow that's interesting you know alot about CFD Don't you?

Chicago Fire Department has green lights on the officer side of their vehicles out of tradition. The new fire commissioner in 1927 (Albert Goodrich) had a family history in the steamship business. He brought the green lights on the starboard side of maritime vessels to the fire apparatuses and even the firehouses themselves - many CFD stations have green and red lights beside the bay doors that line up with the vehicles' lighting!

I think when they have the non spare battalion that's where it sits. Could be wrong though

The ambulance sits in front of the engine

@@metraforce441 thanks for the reply it’s something we don’t see over here in London England. Keep the great videos coming

@@Logan-hu9fu thanks for the reply I need to get a better understanding of how the American fire departments work

It’s traditional! Green light on the starboard side of the rigs. Dates back to an old fire Commisioner who was in to boating!

Fire Commissioner in the 30's was a member of the family who was a large Great Lakes shipper.

@@davidbloom6483 To be specific, Fire Commissioner Goodrich (served 1927-1931) owned the largest of the Great Lakes steamship lines. He also ordered the firehouse doors painted red, to make them more conspicuous to people seeking aid.

Chicago fire department co truck 29 engine 7

@@kaylatarver2419 The video shows Eng. Co. No. 7 and Truck Co. No. 58. Truck 29 is with Engine 96 in the Austin neighborhood.

Tradition

They said E68

TRUCK 58

Curious why they dont, culture or some other reason? I mean the truck has one right there on the bumper so.... why not use it if you have it?

Mechanical Q's are banned in NYC fdny uses the EQb's and yes some companies hook up mechanical Q'S and they get removed by the shop.

Chicago uses the EQ due to the cities current noise regulations

@@BACONndEGGS I’ve also heard that FDNY relaxed the ban on the Mechanical Qi’s too. Not here in Philadelphia. Not only are they used but the siren is placed on the bumper of the fire truck.

@@Born2doom That makes it hard for residents to get enough sleep. The city of Chicago and the suburbs should consider switching from the EQ2B's to the real Q on fire trucks, PA4000, Whelen and Carson on ambulances and European sirens on all emergency vehicles.
