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.

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.
The Chicago Fire Department listings continue to be updated. 20 pieces of apparatus and one new station photo have been added thanks to submissions from Jack Connors, Karl Klotz, and Hank Sajovic.
Hank provided a shot of Engine 18’s new house.
Karl sent shots of Battalions 16 & 24.
Jack submitted the following:
Ambulances – 7, 41, 26, 59, 34, 44. Engine 94. Haz Mat Support unit 511A. Battalion 8. Trucks 59, 31, 26, 33, 42, 44, 49, 62 & TL14.

updated station photos
Nov 28
Karl Klotz has again stepped up to fill in the blanks – this time he supplied a station photo for Merrionette Park to add to Dennis McGuire, Jr’s rig photos and CFD firehouse photos for Engine 65 and Engine 120.
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
