Also, for those CFD historians, this same location in 1990 had a 4-11 alarm in it that was initially commanded by Bn13 Chief Tom O’Donnell.

In the second to last photo, the gentleman in the black shirt is the CFD Chaplain, Fr. Tom Mulcrone

That is a Hurst battery operated cutters. Both our Rescues in Milwaukee carry them. They work great in tight areas and remote locations (no need to bring the power unit).

Does anyone know what this was all about? Thanks. https://nordfirephotos.smugmug.com/CHICAGO-FIRE-DEPARTMENT-FIRES/4-11-Alarm-of-Fire-4540-W/i-HMQ776J

Sebastian, Aerial Tower 1 was called special to the scene early on.
#7 by Sebastian on March 10, 2016 - 5:13 AM
Reason why i was asking is because aerial tower 1 responded and is about the same distance as squad 1 would be?
#8 by Chuck on March 10, 2016 - 12:05 AM
Sebastian, Squad 2 is MILES closer- 21 blocks from their firehouse to this location. And Tower 23 would be the 2-11 tower – straight shot down Milwaukee and then Cicero. And this is TL 14’s still, I believe, or 2nd truck, at worst.
#9 by Sebastian on March 9, 2016 - 6:10 PM
Isn’t this a long haul for tower 23? And also isn’t squad 1 closer than squad 2??

Love all the shots. Love seeing 673 in action!

IS that in 14s 1st due or were they 2nd due on the box. Looks like they about 5 minutes away.

This is an awesome set of shots. You’e got the brand new mask service unit, Engine 44 leading out in a wooded area, and a DDC working a deck gun
