I always thought E55 was a cool firehouse...the nieghborhood, close to the street, etc.
Actually, there is a guy here at StLFD I know that was on Chicago for a while and assigned to E55 back in the day when they still used 3/4 boots!

LOL, Chicago used hip boots up till 2007 !!
On another note, I've been listening to Chicago FD online scanner the past few weeks, have a couple questions:
I hear the Trucks doing medical runs (alot) how are those "Ambulance assists" dispatched ? If a double company, does Engine get assigned 1st, then Truck goes on the next up run ? (rotate between the 1st dues) ??
And, (Steve?) why does the on scene company give the direction they are facing ? ie: "Truck-47 is on scene 200 Main st, Northbound" ?
Thanx.
