Good stuff, Steve!

 

So, was the 2-11 called as a precaution after the Harris-Marcus fire a few weeks ago? (the 5-11+2)

Although I like clean and polished apparatus, there is definitely something appealing about a hard-working, dirty rig.  That means they are taking care of business, i.e. fighting fire.  I have all the respect in the world for the Bubbas up north in the snow.

No such thing in Chicago as a clean rig in the winter. You can wash it 3 times a day.. As soon as you leave the apron of the station the rig needs a wash. They go nuts with the salt on the streets.
