Chicago Fire Department

Prior to this trip, I have only been to Chicago twice, once in 1989 and once in 1995. The 1995 trip was memorable because it was during the infamous "Chicago Heatwave". In comparing the two photos, I see several minor differences. Since I couldn't figure it out, I went back into my database to check my original entry on Squad 5's rig. Turns out that I shot Squad 5 in 1989, not 1995. The one I shot was the 1988 rig that was later wrecked. According to the info in FAJ, Squad 5 received that rig in November, 1988. The wreck happened in September, 1989. My visit was in the spring of 1989.



I appreciate the efforts of those who tried to help me out on this. It was my mistake in saying that I shot Squad 5 in 1995. I was at the station, without any of my reference materials, when I asked.[/quote]

Thanks for getting back to us on that one Dave. So it was the Squad that was wrecked. Yes I'm sure that you were correct on when Squad 5 was wrecked. I apparently was off by a year.
