Another set of photos showcasing some classic fire apparatus from the Chicago Fire Department:
I recently got access to these great images thanks to Squad546, who generously let me use them. It's fascinating to see how the department's fleet has evolved over the years. One thing that stood out to me was the number of 1982 Ford/E-One engines that were in service around the same time. I thought it would be interesting to gather a few of these together.
Here’s a look at some of the units:
- Former Engine 5: This 1982 Ford/E-One is shown returning from a call back in 1995. The picture really captures the classic look of these early models.
- Former Engine 8: Another 1982 Ford/E-One, this one captured heading out on a run during the mid-90s. It's amazing to think about all the calls these trucks responded to over their careers.
- Former Engine 13: Another example of the 1982 Ford/E-One design, this one looks sharp and ready for action.
- Former Engine 61: Also a 1982 Ford/E-One, this rig was once one of the busiest engines in the country. Unfortunately, the station where it served has since been repurposed as an EMS Field Division office.
- Former Engine 78: A slightly older model, this 1976 Ford/Pierce underwent a refurbishment at some point, giving it a fresh appearance.
- Former Engine 113: Yet another 1982 Ford/E-One, this one maintaining its original look well into its career.
- Former Engine 127 (Midway Airport): This 1982 Ford/E-One features a unique deck gun setup that caught my attention. Kudos to Martin for capturing such a cool detail.
- Former Engine E13: This 1982 Ford/E-One served as a spare unit for Engine 42 back in 1996. It's neat to see these older rigs still in action even as backups.
These photos really bring to life the rich history of firefighting equipment in Chicago. Each truck tells its own story, whether it’s through the distinctive markings or the way it carried out its duties over the years. Special thanks again to Squad546 for sharing these fantastic images!
