By the way, CFD just got two new ladder trucks, with Trucks 26 and 42 confirmed to be receiving them. 4 more are on order with truck assignments pending.

They should put it at Engine 80 so the guys have somewhere clean to hang out/ sleep in instead of their sewage and mosquito infested dump of a firehouse.

They had a perfectly good rig they never used. Just more burning up of equipment dollars that should be going towards daily use front line apparatus instead of jink like this. And they won’t bury this at Logistics. They’ll shoehorn it into some idiot location that has an extra 40 foot bay to spare.

Another rig that will collect dust at SLD

That rig certainly has a long turning radius. It certainly looks comparable in size to the American La France Haz Mat units are currently being replaced,

I wonder where the rig is being assigned to? It would make sense for it be assigned to Engine 44’s quarters as that is where the Northside Assistant Deputy Chief Paramedic 4411 is located.

So it appears to be pretty much a warming/cooling/rehab vehicle? Wonder if CFD got sick of waiting for CTA to bring a bus…I’ll be interested to see if it’s more intended for civilian or CFD use. It’s clearly not set up to be a MCI vehicle or anything along those lines (no stretcher capabilities, next to no cabinet space for significant amounts of medical supplies, especially bulky items like monitors or a cache of portable oxygen tanks).
