I am curious about a type of unit operated by the Chicago Fire Dept. They are designated as rescue companies and consist of two trucks. One of the trucks carries a 55′ aerial platform. Why are there two trucks? Why does a rescue carry an aerial platform? What type of equipment does each truck carry? Does the CFD also operate “normal” type rescues?

I have noticed that the CFD operates units comprised of a Rosenbauer ’55 ACP and a secondary unit. I am curious to know what each unit carries and why their content could not have been put on one much larger unit.
