Was there another fire here or at a similar building like this a long time ago, in approximately the 1970s or 1980s?

Nice to see commissioner got a nice brand new suburban! Thought it was a Tahoe till I looked again. Ah…..what’s another 20,000.00 to Chicago!

A lot of spare rigs out there. Do they schedule more planned maintenance in the summer than the rest of the year? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Truck 32 has been using that spare Seagrave for about a week or two.

It’s a regular spare, albeit with the TV show numbering. As is their Squad 3 etc.

Isn’t this a first… for a fictional vehicle (Truck 81) to be on scene at a working fire ?

Good to see that Tower 5 has its old rig back after 8 months of having a spare.

Drew and I were at Roosevelt and Kedzie and heard you guys send them on the still with Batt 14. We saw the header so we started in to it. Fire was mostly in the cockloft it looked like.

We were watching this on the camera in fire alarm office … Looked like a doozy ! Where were u coming from Josh ?
We pulled Truck 32 off a ambulance run, I’m glad we did when the 14th said he had folks hanging from the window … You & Drew got great shots !!!
