*Horn* Chicago Fire Dept Engine 42 (Spare), Truck 3, and Squad 1 Returning

At the fire but was surprised that I made it in time to literally see E42 especially since they left 2 minutes after Sq1 did.
Taken 6/25/22

That's is amazing how quickly they can back those trucks up a lot of power and love when y'al lay on the horn to make dummy move be safe out there and watch all your surroundings priceless

[@carylee2002]

Truck 3 looks new, Engine 42 is using it's backup. Maybe they are repairing their original.

Anyone have the GUTS to argue with one of those rings?

Is there one truck Lt per squad or does the second piece have another officer?

Why do some trucks have R&Bs, some red and one green?

[@tonybevilacqua2266]

The red &green lights goes back to the early days of Chicago the first fire chief was a former navy commander he wanted the truck just like a boat

[@seamanship1203]

Why is there 2 squads? Squad 1 and Squad 1A

[@John_Montefalco]

It’s a 2 piece company, all 5 Squads are like that; 1 snorkel and 1 walk in heavy rescue

[@joeburros4878]

Really chigago can't get magenetts numbers for the engine it looks like a 5yr old made those

[@danielhynd]

They do for some of their rigs, but a lot of the rigs have aluminum doors so magnets don't work.

[@ryanhinton1182]

It's probably a spare (reserve) engine

[@debbie3218]

I've always been a sucker for a handsome man in uniform...

[@Fastlanejg]

Rosenbauer is no good that’s why they are always using the spare squads bc the parts break to easy

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

They're quality is a 1000 times better in Europe, especially in Germany and it's home nation of Austria. No flipping joke.

[@trent.142]

I don’t understand as compared to the rest of the big cities in the country, Chicago’s rigs are so trash and all there spares are 25 years old

[@billypetty1453]

This rig is only a 2001 not as old as some of the other spares they have that are from 1992 or 93

[@trent.142]

Yea man only a 21 year old rig serving one of the busiest houses in the city

[@billypetty1453]

@@trent.142 Engine 42's frontline rig is a 2005 this spare is a 2001 and to be honest D588 isn't that bad of a spare compared to some of the other spare engines they have in the shop

[@jacksvacssafety2620]

Our reserve ladder truck is a 1997 Eone cyclone so a 2001 reserve engine isn't that bad
