6-7-1 was never at 39th St. It was kept at the warehouse on Roosevelt Rd. which it is still there. Also as of yesterday’s 3-11 the total this year for extra alarms is 18 2-11’s and 2 3-11’s.

6-7-1 is still at Spec Ops last I heard.

Speaking of old things, the spare squad snorkel is looking longer and longer in the tooth. Any update on the Rosenbauer replacement units? Haven’t heard anything in probably a year.

CFD finally get’s to play with their new toy on their own turf! Nice! Murphy’s law…..get a new toy and not get to use it for awhile. Does anyone know what fleet did with the old chassis’s? Keep checking the auction site and haven’t seen them on their. Also, any word on 6-7-1?

  The old turret Wagon chassis’ are sitting in a parking lot behind the 31st street shops.

1st 3-11 this year? Any more pics?! Also when I see 6-7-6, anybody knows if they’re going to get a new chassis for the big guns from the Mack?! There was some talk about it during the 5-11 last year but haven’t heard anything since.

NJ, you’re correct one of the new Turret Wagons was at a Tire Fire I think this winter.

It’s not Little Moe!!!

Nice to see 6-7-6 at a fire scene. I believe this is it’s second deployment, first one actually in Chicago.
