Steve, outstanding pictures! Does Chicago still have any of the deluge rigs, and were any of them there? Thanks in advance. Bill

[Guest]

CFD still has 2 6-7-3 and 6-7-6 they are the smaller ones mounted on mid 70's chevy pick up chassis. The days of the big ones on the duce and a half have been gone a while.

Great shots Steve!

I notice lately that CFD only deploys the towers for ladder pipe operations and not the straight sticks... I wonder if we will see the day when all CFD trucks will be towers?

[Guest]

The towers are pre-piped.. Thats the reason I heard..

Yes, the CTA Pink Line was shut down and power off on this section of right-of-way.

Steve, why did they hold at a 4-11 instead of calling for a 5-11 for more help drowning the fire?

[Guest]

WHat is the staffing on CFD units? Engines, Towers, Ladders, Squads, Haz-Mat, and even the Battalions?
