That first fire looks a lot like this fire from Steve Redick’s collection https://ksc711.smugmug.com/Historical-Fires-Rigs/Misc-Fires-V/i-m8r8gPM

Dennis thanks a lot, I think it may be even Park Ridge, from what I’ve seen on Bill friedrich’s site, they also had a very similar Pirsch midmount.

Yes David that fire in the top photo was either on airport property or just off of it. The seagrave quad in the lower left is crash 4( you can see the 4 on the fuel tank behind the drivers seat) it was at one time assigned to Engine 10. I believe the pirsch aerial is either franklin parks or schiller parks but don’t quote me on that.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing this! Also anybody knows anything closer about the Pirsch midmount truck seen on the 1st photo?? Looks like it must be some suburban rig, haven’t seen such rig in the CFD.
