This from Josh Boyajian:
I had a great opportunity yesterday and got pictures of the (2) new ARFF crash trucks at O’Hare Airport. They are the new generation 2016 Oshkosh Strikers assigned to units 6-5-4 and 6-5-8. Enjoy

Not the best lighting, quite cloudy, but here is 6-5-4’s new rig, yet to be in placed in service. 6-5-8 is also at the ORD AMC building with an identical rig for MDW at their shops.
The rest are photos by Matt Zwiesler

This from Nick Nezri:
On 11-14-15, I was privileged to be able to go on an airfield tour of O’Hare Airport, which was set up by the ORD Airport Watch planespotting group. Lucky for me, nearly all of the ORD based CFD companies were conducting training at rescue station one, so our tour added a stop. I was able to photograph a variety of the rigs, and was even given the opportunity to go inside 6-5-8. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone at the CFD for welcoming us to their station with no advance notice, moving the rigs for better photos, displaying their equipment, and answering all of our members questions! It was really appreciated!
