  That is a piece of history to know that Engine 51 was quartered with ladder 30!

  Hopefully with the next round of deliveries from E-One they will be able to scrap any remaining Seagrave aerial ladders from the 1990’s. I have to say Seagrave makes a decent product that seems to last 30 years. Grant it they are in rough shape. At least they lasted!

  Thanks for the info Wayne, I didn’t know Chicago had any
  equipment of that type. Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

  The jump bags are as literal as the name implies. They’re giant inflatable bags that they deploy in the event someone is threatening to jump from a height of some sort i.e. a bridge, interstate overpass. There’s another one at Engine 4s house.

  That spare truck has definitely seen better days!
