Sep 1
This from Danny:
Came across this last night on google while searching for Chicago engine info

One of two new 4500-gallon 8×8 ARFF units for O’Hare. Oshkosh photo
and from David:
Just came across this photo of a new Oshkosh Striker 8×8 equipped with Snozzle delivered recently to O’Hare. I’m not sure, but it seems like this news may be already a few weeks old. I think this is the first 4-axle ARFF unit to serve with the CFD.
Evanston struck a 2nd alarm on Sunday for a fire at North Shore Towing that involved junk cars and tires. Tim Olk was at the scene and submitted several images.
Due to all the grease, oil, and other fluids, everyone needs new gear and the hose was left there
