From atop a downtown high-rise, Dan McInerney submitted an interesting image showing Engine 2, the new fire boat, docked outside the marine headquarters. Behind Engine 2, Engine 58 is visible as is a small Coast Guard vessle leaving to go on patrol.

There is a very interesting site HERE with a year’s worth of photos documenting the construction of the new fire boat for Chicago. The drawing below illustrates the design. Previous posts about the boat can be found HERE and HERE.
From the CFD Fire Boat page.
There’s also an article HERE with more photos from the Chatham Daily News, a local paper where the boat is being constructed in Ontario, Canada.
