MABAS 21, actually it is in homage to Emergency. They talked about it around the time the show started. I can’t remember where I read it, but it was mentioned.

IMHO, I don’t believe that Engine 51 was numbered as is in reference to the TV series Emergency. If you notice on Chicago Fire, a lot of the apparatus numbers on the series are of disbanded CFD companies.
Squad 3 was once the busiest in the City and was housed with the former Engine 61 on Wabash. Engine 51 had a house directly next door to the Englewood Alarm Office. Engine 25 was next to the Academy. The infamous Engine 77 was covered on this site many times.

Crabby,this was done to “honor” the Emergency! show. Backdraft also had a 51. They are all owned by Universal studios.

I like this “new” engine, but it would interesting to know what happened to the Evanston engine they had.
In addition to replacing the truck, they should replace the squad too.

So the big question is what happened to the former Evanston Pierce engine that they were using for this season?

All they need to do is replace the truck they use on Chicago Fire.

Harry is correct. This is the former Bellwood Engine 604.
