O’Hare stations and apparatus updated on the site

The four on-field fire stations at O’Hare Airport have been updated on the site. There are now photos of all four houses as well as several apparatus updates as mentioned in a previous post HERE. Images of ambulance 16 and ARFF 6-5-9 are still unaccounted for but will be updated later in the summer as new rigs are put into service for both Ambulances 16 and 59.

O'Hare Rescue Station 2

Rescue 2 which is currently located northwest of United Terminal 1 is slated for demolition and relocation due to the O'Hare modernization and expansion.

O'Hare Rescue Station 3 and District Headquarters

O'Hare Rescue Station 3 is the only airport house that is not on the field and is accessible to anyone. It is also the Third District Headquarters.

Chicago Fire Commissioner Retires

Fire Commissioner Brooks today notified the Fire Department Pension Board that he was retiring … not the office of the mayor evidently.  The sexual harassment complaint against Brooks remains open as does an investigation into the handling of the complaint by then Office of Compliant’s Chief Anthony Boswell … who resigned. CBS Channel 2 has an in depth story HERE. WGN/Chicago Tribune have a brief article HERE.

final CFD stations are online

Today, the final 16 CFD firehouses were uploaded to the site! This is a milestone that we have been waiting for and required the assistance of several people to accomplish. As with many postings, this does not mean that every piece of apparatus is represented … just that each house has an active link. There is 1 (and only 1) house with no images posted at all … rigs or house, but that is an exception.  otherwise, every link has at east one … perhaps all images posted.

Four links on the CFD index listing remain inactive as of today … these are the Quinn Fire Academy, The Special Operations warehouse plus the two Air Mask locations.  These links will be activated soon.

It is possible that a list this comprehensive representing the Chicago Fire Department does not exist on any website … and when the remaining placeholders are filled this will truly be a first!

With that said, here is a listing of the current additions to the site with images submitted by Jack Connors, Karl Klotz, Steve Redick and Hank Sajovic

1st District: Engine 58, Engine 112

2nd District: Engine 68, Engine 71 and Engine 94.

4th District: Engine 57, Engine 113.

5th District: Engine 116

6th District: Engine 73, Engine 74, Engine 82, Engine 92, Engine 104, Engine 120, Engine 126 and Truck 24
