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?
Reply
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.

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.
