Do they still have the stairwell unit at Midway?Do you know if there has been talk lately of building a second station at the north end of the Airport? It seems that most airports these days have more then one station on the field. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/computer.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Computer' />

from the movie "Backdraft" does engine 17 really exist?


Chicago Fire Department - Ladder 68 - 11-29-2006

There is no Engine Co. 17 or Truck Co. 46, atleast at the time of the movie or after. There is however a Engine Co. 46 and Truck Co. 17 that share quarters.



Corrections welcome.


Chicago Fire Department - CFD Adv207 - 11-29-2006

Correct Ladder 68. If I am not mistaken, both companies actually existed at some point in time, but were both OOS before the movie was made. Corrections welcome.
