There has been much conversation since the 5-11 Alarm with 2 Specials at 3757 S. Ashland Avenue on January 22, 2013 about the deployment and status of Turret Wagon 6-7-1, also known as ‘Big Mo’. We recently received the following CFD Operations Order 11-003 that was issued August 16, 2011.
This from Tim Olk who is back at the scene of Tuesday’s 5-11 + 2 Specials … now a Still & Box Alarm.
The CFD has resurrected 6-7-1, the large turret wagon which has been off of the roster … and assigned it to the fire
