This from Steve Redick:

Found an audio tape of the radio traffic from this job at 19th & Peoria that I made from a fire alarm office recording. I am also enclosing a link to the images from this job It really is amazing how much more advanced my tools and techniques have become since taking these. As I recall TL39 lost power with the basket in a precarious position and I have images of the members stretching an exposure line to protect the basket and ladder. I remember seeing this from the elevated portion of the Dan Ryan as I was enroute and seeing heavy flames from a square block area … what a site. Considering the massive amount of fire here there were few really good images to be had. Enjoy the history.

This from Larry Shapiro:

After seeing the photos from Fleet Guy of the two 1985 E-ONE tower ladders that remain in the CFD spare pool, I thought I’d share an image of one when it was brand new. Assigned to Tower Ladder 39, this was on display in the Daley Center Plaza for Fire Prevention Week in 1985 before it was placed in service. E-238, E-4335 for this rig.

This from Steve Redick:

Early friday morning, 26th & Rockwell. Near as I could tell this was a pallet yard and loading dock complex. Access was poor and most of the fire was set way back from the street. Railroad tracks and other industrial complexes made access for apparatus difficult at best. Several in-line pumping operations were conducted. Photos were difficult to come by due to smoke conditions, local flooding, and access. Here’s a few images to view, and the rest are posted on my site along

This from Eric Haak:

Had a great opportunity to shoot the new Tower Ladder 39 at a still and box alarm this morning (5/7) at 59th and Carpenter. The fire was in a red x building and appeared to have started in back porches, which were fully involved when I arrived. Companies were defensive from the start.
