This from Mike Lopina:

Downtown yesterday morning when I spotted these funny colored rigs a long way from home outside Eng 42’s house. At first I thought they were on a change but turns out they were doing a drill with 5-1-5 and Squad 1.

This from Steve Redick:

Friday (5/18/18) in the 6600 block of N Olmsted. Response here was a bit compromised as they had an alley garage at the same time causing a lengthy delay in the arrival of the RIT truck company. Fire had a good hold in the concealed spaces and knee wall areas necessitating considerable truck work. Late in the incident some members were caught in a bad spot on the roof when fire conditions changed rapidly, cutting off access to the aerial. Fortunately the free venting fire was knocked down quickly with inside handlines alleviating the situation.

Truck 9 was able to setup the aerial despite some tough conditions, a narrow street, tree branches, and wires all hindering the effort. One of the last images shows the grateful victims of a rescue. All images all can be seen here.

This from Josh Boyajian:

I had a great opportunity recently and was able to shoot the new Squad 7 @ O’Hare …

Squad 7 is a 2016 Rosenbauer Commander 4000, 18′ walk-in rescue squad company
Shop #AVF657

Squad 7A is a 2016 Rosenbauer Commander 4000, ACP-55 Articulating Cobra Platform
Shop #AVF656

They are very nice! They seem like they are heavy duty and built well. Hopefully the fella’s have good luck with them.

Here is my video of the brand new Squad Co. 7 and 7A performing a quick demo with the snorkel. We then see all 4 rigs drive in a convoy to fleet where the old 7 and 7A will be spares. Enjoy!

This from Jacob Metzler:

Went up to O’Hare last night, caught the new 7/7A with the fading sunlight. As far as I know, the order at Engine 9 is unchanged: Squad 7/7A, Command Van 273, MVU 9-2-4, Engine 9 and Medic 59.
