Chicago Fire Department history

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

Wednesday I went out on the X-Chicago Fire Department Fire Boat Engine 41 which is now doing tours on Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. Beautiful job on restoring it and keeping it maintained. The crew consists of Navy veterans who love to be out on the water. I have attached a link to their website which will give you a rundown on their story along with some pictures. These guys are doing a great thing, I would highly recommend booking a tour or boat ride. Its definitely a bang for your buck.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE OTHER EXCURSION BOATS IN CHICAGO, OURS STANDS OUT IN THE FACT THAT YOU’RE RIDING ON AN ACTUAL PIECE OF CHICAGO HISTORY. OUR FLAGSHIP VESSEL IS THE FRED A. BUSSE, WHICH WAS AN ACTIVE FIREBOAT FOR THE CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT FROM 1937 UNTIL 1981. READ MORE ABOUT THE BOAT ON OUR HISTORY PAGE.”
