This from Mike Lopina:
Downtown yesterday morning when I spotted these funny colored rigs a long way from home outside Eng 42’s house. At first I thought they were on a change but turns out they were doing a drill with 5-1-5 and Squad 1.

This from Steve Redick:
Friday (5/18/18) in the 6600 block of N Olmsted. Response here was a bit compromised as they had an alley garage at the same time causing a lengthy delay in the arrival of the RIT truck company. Fire had a good hold in the concealed spaces and knee wall areas necessitating considerable truck work. Late in the incident some members were caught in a bad spot on the roof when fire conditions changed rapidly, cutting off access to the aerial. Fortunately the free venting fire was knocked down quickly with inside handlines alleviating the situation.Truck 9 was able to setup the aerial despite some tough conditions, a narrow street, tree branches, and wires all hindering the effort. One of the last images shows the grateful victims of a rescue. All images all can be seen here.Steve

This from Niko Stefani:
Here is my video of the brand new Squad Co. 7 and 7A performing a quick demo with the snorkel. We then see all 4 rigs drive in a convoy to fleet where the old 7 and 7A will be spares. Enjoy!
This from Jacob Metzler:
Went up to O’Hare last night, caught the new 7/7A with the fading sunlight. As far as I know, the order at Engine 9 is unchanged: Squad 7/7A, Command Van 273, MVU 9-2-4, Engine 9 and Medic 59.
