Yes Steve Skaar is correct ,in Ken Little's "History of Chicago Fire House's" Snorkels 6 and 7 are listed as 70 footers.That was somewhat surprising as most Snorkel's tended to be built in denominations of 5 such 65,75 and 85 feet.
The International Harvester Erlinders that were assigned to SS-1 and SS-2 were on 1956/62's and not 1957 models. They were originally the cab's and chassis for two of five 1956 model High Pressure Wagons.

I purchased the first 3 volumes of "History of Chicago Fire Houses" a few years back and heard rumors of a Volume 4 coming out. Did it ever get published?
