  Kind of like a tadpole becoming a frog–evolving from water to land.

  LFD 543, that is all.. You have it correct. They were a fireboat that was located on the North Branch of the Chicago River when they were in service. They, along with Engine 92, were the only fireboats to become land companies. Engs 37, 41 & 58 were always fireboats and were never land companies before or after being in the water. Engine 2, however, was the first fireboat to be organized as a land company, disbanded (many years ago) and reorganized as a fireboat.

  Because, they don’t fart. They pass gas.

  Prior to 1927, Engine 71 was a fireboat. I am sure someone else can fill in the details.
