Anyone know which of the 2 boats this one is? Last I heard, there was one in Wisconsin. Is this that one?

I believe the photo posted above was Engine 41, the boat in Door County WI is Engine 37 (the most recent one to go out of service).

The boat posted above is the



Former Chicago Fire Department (Engine #37)

Fire Boat Joseph Medill

Built 1946

Dimmensions 92' x 23'

Built By: Bay Ship Building Sturgeon Bay, WI



Location is Escanaba, MI. She was purchased to be stripped and sunk off Milwaukee as a dive attraction. The State of WI, inspected her and said no way due to enviromental hazards. So there she has sat since at least 2004-2005.

I remember being at Navy Pier in the early 90's and the Joseph Medill was still in service. The guys assigned to her were pretty cool to talk to.

I was able to get some decent shots of the soon to be extinct engine 58. They were doing a demo at the air and water show....A replacement boat is well under construction...who knows..maybe this is it's last water show appearance..

Alas, when 58 retires, another sad end to an era of firefighting service.
