Chicago Engine 61 turning out for a 2-11 at 6201 S. Ingleside
Просмотров 142 тыс.9 лет назад
Had some fun today at the Engine 61 Museum & Fire Education Center in Annapolis, Maryland. The museum honors Chicago's "Smoke Eaters" of the 1960s and 70s. We've had many suggestions and requests for a little vignette so this is just an experimental run, done solo today not bad for an amateur! So, here's the Engineer on watch, turning out the company to respond to a 2-11 at 6201 S. Ingleside. W...

The best thing is that 61's is an ALF Century Series engine, which are the best in the business (learned to drive fire engines on one).
Great pole action. I met my 2nd wife while she was working the pole

damn i wish some firefighters slid down that pole i wanted to see that but i loved the video
This is the slowest house
I'm sure your read what this was about. There was a two feet of snow on the ground outside the museum so I decided to fiddle around with my new camera and software to see how to use it. I was all alone so I was the lone actor and producer. Surely you understood that.
Cool.
April fools

still that old engine
Looks like an American LaFrance from the side view.
Awesome👍
Thanks for your encouraging comment.
I have an old ticker tape with key wind bells I got 'em rigged for test Ping-ping-Clang! sure reminds me of the smoke eating days...thanks!
Glad you liked it! Isure miss the old days!
The outside is a fake it’s a wall
These firefighters are lucky. I wanna ride in one of those american lafrance fire trucks at my own age which is 14!
hgkkufďu
What? I thought the fire truck was in the wall!
I want to live here and listen to the song and maybe ride in the fire truck, but it don't look real it looks like it is coming out of the wall!
Cool. This reminds me of the time we had a field trip to the science and technology museum and they had a real functioning fire engine cab with lights and full sirens and horns. Best time ever!!
Thanks for your very kind words. This of course honors the very tough firefighters of the 60s and 70s who were on the front lines while the world around them was burning. Great guys! Special memories!
Where is this museum? Sounds like a lot of fun!
Ok sign me up Al, im coming to annapolis, i want to play as well. Ill bring the bbq and cold brews.
Anytime you need actual people to slide the pole, throw the gear on, etc, lmk, im up here in maine but wouldn't mind putting on a little act for the museum goers day in, day out fyi, plus ive heard annapolis is a good place to live these days.
Thanks very much! I'd still like to do this scene over in a more professional way with a full crew involved. Remember, we are in Annapolis, Maryland.
pretty slow turnout, lol
That's as fast as this old man could move...
william smith that is slow
The place is awesome, how do you get the radio traffic from that era to play over the speakers like that
CDs of old traffic and lots of money!
Al Kirchner has lovingly assembled the finest personal fire museum I have ever been privileged to visit. When you sit in a captain's chair at the round "sitting room" table, smell the aroma of hose drying in the hose tower and the soot of the last "worker" coming from the bunker coats near the apparatus, etc. it takes you back to mid-century "old school" firefighting in Chicago. All of this from the Kirchner home in the Eastport neighborhood of Annapolis, MD. From one firefighter to another .....thank you. Well done. Steve Souder, 09-07-17
Nice Brings back some memories - I would slide the pole for you haaaaaaaa
Vic Vreeland Vic, Come and join the fun. Screen Actors Guild membership not required for the actors in the next shoot.
This was a little vignette I did by myself at the museum in Annapolis, Maryland just to get an idea of what could be done and to create a chance to learn how to use the video editing software. It's not a real response. Engine 61 was taken out of service on December 3, 2005.
Was it really responding to an alarm?
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. This was shot in our museum in Annapolis, Maryland. See the notes that go along with the You Tube posting. We also have a Facebook page that I hope you like at and give us a "Like". Thanks!
Albert Kirchner Awesome!

You need glasses
Al, What an amazing job you have done but I would not of expected anything less from a person such as yourself. You have done the fire service an amazing job of recreating our history to share with our younger brothers and sisters. Our profession was built on traditions and molded by persons of character. I only have one complaint when I saw the recreation I had a "flashback" and started to get up and make coffee for the senior members. Thank you for sharing this with us. Gary Palmer Jr.

Asked his youngest daughter of Ben Suzuki-san whether she or her son was familiar on you just for the case I might try to realize this info to Ben-san and to his grand-son who is currently working at the fire services there at Iwakuni MC base. Of course, my main target is for Ben-san to remind him of his unyielding spirit, and for his grand-son's appreciation and respect to your past distinguished superintendent. I hope they have been informed on your civil fireofficer time. Al-san, thank you again, and well take care! Kazu
Mr. Kirchner, Superb! Super attention to detail. I especially like: starting out with a photo of Commissioner Quinn … the photos of the houses across the street … the completeness … the picture of Chief Volkamer … Dragnet on the TV … Typewriter … The USMC welcome matt … the CFD forms … the box cards … the gloves and helmet on the radiator … the pictures of “hisshonor” … the Fire and Thrill show poster … the night photos … and the backing in scene. God bless! JK
Al, you have made it finally, which is to be appreciated by all the fresh men with respect, and myself is so happy to say "HI" to Com. Quinn, and Chief Volkamer as well. And I am sure there is no boarder for any fire services. Their duties being so complicated and over-loaded like PRO-CON at IAFC Open Forum, but all will be encouraged everyday as your people used to do it. Once again, excellent job! Kazu Yamamoto
Thank you, Yamamoto-san! I am hoping on your next trip to the United States we can share some Saki at the museum!
Oh, where to begin: The artistry and creativity alone deserve an Oscar and much more. We are so proud of you --- proud to call you friend and brother. And we know Lisa deserves an award for enduring the arduous process of building this historical monument, bless her heart! Mazel tov, kudos, love and admiration go to you, AK! And God bless you -- well done! XO XO
I think you just have a crush on "Bulldog" Brookman…
CHIEF KIRCHER THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE RESTORATION JOB THAT YOU DID ON THIS EDUCATION CENTER. IT REMINDS ME OF GOING TO SEE MY GREAT GRAND FATHER AT HIS CFD HOUSE. I CAN REMEMBER JUST STARING AT THE CALL TAPES & LISTENING TO THE ENGLESIDE CALL OUTS AS A CHILD IN THE EARLY 60'S. YOU DID THIS SO PERFECT FROM THE FOLDING DOORS, DRAFT HOSES, AF BELL AND CIVIL THE .DEFENSE BOX.. EVEN THE "BOSS" MAYOR DAILY STUFF. I HOPE THE CHILDREN THAT WILL BECOME FUTURE FIRE FIGHTERS ADMIRE YOUR PLACE AS MUCH AS WE LOVED THE STATIONS GROWING UP & AS AN ADULT. KEVIN---*
Thanks, Kevin. Your words are most kind! This is a great fire department--full to tough firefighters and camaraderie! It was an honor and a privilege to ride with these guys! AK
