This from Josh Boyajian:
The Cicero Fire Department responded to a very well involved building fire on Ogden Avenue (5419 W 30th Street) during afternoon rush hour traffic today (6/17/15). As companies went enroute they reported a large black header in the sky. The fire was in a two-story ordinary, 100×75, auto body shop. Companies encountered heavy fire on arrival and used three master streams and multiple handlines to knock down most of the fire. Companies on scene were: Cicero E1, E2, E3, T1, T2, F-7, F-1, F-12, and Berwyn T904.

From what I remember that Pierce was supposed to be a spring delivery. The TDA has had some minor problems and that RM is kinda long in the tooth. Just saying. Why were they so interested in selling the Tower so long ago??

Cicero’s new Pierce Truck will be here in December. They are running the spare seagrave truck right now front line for Truck 1. The Tower ladder was sold.
And F-1, F-7, F-8, F-9, etc are all Chief Numbers. F-12 being the shift chief
