  Did Des Plaines sell Truck 61? How did they have the manpower for both Squad 63 and Tower 63?

  Best cartoon i have seen in years. Fire wont go out if you don’t go in. Love the officer sliding down the ladder. Spent his whole career just to get to that for the video. They put the outriggers out on the truck, that was probably gonna be used for an aerial act. Would been nice to see a picture of the clown car they came out of.. This was a hard video to watch.

  It’s nice to see wheeling still running one of the sutphens as a spare. Those were good rigs. Also it’s nice to see des plaines sending their only truck and the “squad” out of town. More smart moves from the not so smart management.

  No they did not merge. It is a shared truck. This is Glenview reserve truck 14R and Northfield truck 29, housed at Northfield as their frontline truck. So when Truck 14 is oos Glenview will use their reserve truck. Northfield had their own truck but got rid of it to share with Glenview.

  Watching this video I noticed on Glenview truck 14 it says Glenview/Northfield did Northfield merge with Glenview?
