  Interesting item with the telesqurt is that the rails on the safety ladder had to be made to fold so it could pass under the CTA and Metra viaducts in town. It is nice to see them back in a standard fleet after the mash up of the late 70’s and 80’s between the International/Howes (E23 & 24), the Mack MB (E25), the Cincinnati Cab Pirsch (E21), the Spartan/Welch (E22), the Seagrave rear mount quint (T21) and the re-tractored 85′ Pirsch tiller on the GMC chassis (Res T23)

  Those are great shots of 4 of 5 Evanston engine companies. Engine 24 is basically a twin of Engine 22’s rig and they also run with two Pierce reserve engines from the mid 1990’s. One of the reserve engines is a Tele-Squrt which has an extendable 50-foot waterway with a safety ladder built into it. I know that on Tuesday Engine 22 was running with the Tele-Squrt as a spare.
