Fire apparatus photos

This from Drew Gresik:

Hey guys,
I was cruising around today and passed by Engine 80’s quarters at 127th and S Doty. Truck 62 has a spare, which happens to be the Seagrave used on “Chicago Fire.” It’s still marked “Truck 81”. Thought I would share it with everyone since its not an everyday sight. I also passed by Crestwood’s quarters and saw that they have a new (or relatively new) Ford Expedition B/C SUV. Just took a quick shot of it in its bay. Thanks!
From,
Drew Gresik

5-Alarm fire in Genessee, WI

Chris Ranck submitted this article about a huge fire last night … north of the border.

From TMJ4 in Wisconsin with video:

A five-alarm barn fire has broken out in Waukesha County, leading to the death of lots of pheasant chicks.

Initially, the Town of Genesee fire chief said that up to 8,000 chicks had died in the fire; however, a farm employee tells TODAY’S TMJ4’s Melissa McCrady that 600 chicks passed away.

It began at about 2:45 a.m. at the Wern Valley Pheasant Farm.  Two barns burned to the ground.

“According to the owner, they were running heaters to raise pheasant chicks.  We do not know that is what caused the fire, but that is a possibility,” said a member of the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.

They were still investigating that cause.

Firefighters from a number of departments have been called to the scene.

According to its website, this farm has an amazing history.

It has been in the same family’s hands since it was founded in 1848, several months before Wisconsin became a state.
