A warm Saturday night in the city with fire and EMS equipment responding out of Chicago Fire Department Engine 42 firehouse to multiple calls (File/Archive video August 24, 2013 from about 9:00 p.m. to just after midnight).
CFD squad companies are a two piece unit. Squad A is the 55' snorkel the other unit "not marked B" is the special equipment van. It carries various tools as well as manpower. Hope that's helpful.
great catches and video of this fire department responses and returns
I visited this house in September of 2015. Nicest and friendly bunch of guys you will ever meet. Treated me like one of there own. Thanks for your service.
I've been fortunate enough to have witnessed some of these units respond, during a few trips to downtown. An awesome sight!
DARN! I must be getting blind. I never even noticed that. Well, the old blinkers just are not what they used to be. Thanks for waking me up! LOL!
Fun fact: The Green lights on the trucks symbolizes when the old fire chief had a lot of involvement in the shipping industry which a green light is found on the sideboard of ships and/or is a symbol to fallen firefighters in the chicago area
My best friend ever is the ambulance 42
I am very impressed the way these stations run right in the downtown area of a busy city like Chicago. E42 T3 SQUAD 1 AND 1A AMB 42 , 271 AND AMB 93 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN ON THE APPRATUS IN THIS HOUSE. Very well maintained.
Way back when one of the commissioners also owned a steamship line. He liked the look of the red and green lights on his ships and brought it over to the department. A lot of firehouses have red and green lights on the front as well.
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated even in the windy city of Chicago job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys great catches as usual you guys rock ! Joe

Joe
Best friend ever
From 2021 those squads rigs have been replaced by two rosenbauers
Talk about a busy house, great video!
I like watching Chicago fire department videos
Don’t tell me the fire at night at 9:00pm fire alarm goes off right now in Chicago public school
Fun fact about squad 1. Both trucks always run together no matter what. One never goes without the other.
Code 3 productions What is the appliance that follows behind squad? In England we call it an ALP, what is it in Chicago?
Blackwall Studios it's squad 1A. It's the second part of squad one. Both the first and second truck make up squad 1
Is this is the same for all fire houses and squad units? Or can you sometimes get a second part of squad without the first squad unit? Thanks for the reply, regards from UK 🇬🇧
Blackwall Studios only for squads. You can't have a squad unit without the two trucks haha
Code 3 productions Where I am from we have 2squad unit's.Not like Chicago's but there 2 pieces.1piece is a engine with extra stuff on it but the 2nd piece doesn't go out all the time it only go's on water rescues or collapse issues or a very bad fire.
Awesome catch!
Man I was the ambulances would go back to that scheme.
Im obsessed with squad 1s response
Saturday August 24, 2013 about 9:00 p.m. until about midnight.
Love them Irish green lights!
someone know what is the make of the backup alrm on squad 1a !!!! i really need to know
But that's in the one with the Truck 6 video
People why run the risk of getting flattened by a fire truck? If you see the lights are flashing, just stay where you are
I say squad one is the king of the streets of Chicago
firetrucklover1- to Answer your question yes BLS ambulance 93 gets about 4-8 calls a day. While ALS ambulance 42 gets about 5-9 calls a day depending though.
How many calls combine does this station gets during a 24hr shift?
A full house response, sth I can only dream of; It's simply not possible to film a full house rsponse at the career FD in my city, they simply have too many apparatus, covering so many normal and special operations that no scenario would require all of them
Here in Italy only in distaccamento (fire stations with 2 apparatus or more ) you could see a full house response,in fire headquarter it's impossible because it means the turnout of main engines ,main pupmer/tankers,main ladder trucks ,hazmat van and primary decontamination unit(big fire headquarter also shelter),mobile command unit,officer's car,chief's car and more other vehicles.If you mean for a full house response the turnout of only main units a full house response in italian fire headquarter means all main engines,pumper/tankers,ladder trucks ,officer's car,chief's car and mobile command unit.
That little ladder reminds me of a matchbox truck
Notice these girls at 1:10, all three holding their ears, because they thought it's too loud!
damn! you beat me to it.
I'm an EMT in training in Hagerstown Maryland and I noticed you have a Q-siren on an Ambulance which is weird because over here only our Fire Rigs have them. But we aren't a Fire rescue so maybe thats why.
Try 1950's -- early '60's, almost everybody had the early Q's and whatnot.
They're Electronic Q sirens. All Chicago FD units, even the chief cars, have them as of 2004-2005 ish. The Squads are from 2001 and haven't been replaced yet despite HEAVY use because they didn't make Snorkels anymore until this past year.
Most CFD Engines, Trucks and Ambulances are equipped with Federal Electronic Q sirens. None of our units still use mechanicals but a few rigs do have Non Q electronics. Gotta love the Q run down digital or mechanical.
thanks
Nice job!
what was the song called at the end?
That's why i love my city
you are good best friend i always love you fire department
Reminds me oh Honolulu Fire at all hours of the night..
what's the date that this was filmed on?
And at 5:35 the ff helping back truck 3 up into the garage I met while I was visiting at that station
why there are green light bars on this trucks ?
Omg who else kept repeating 1:05
Which calls they are going
Chicago Fire department truck 3 old I love it the new brand Chicago Fire department truck 3 new
Cool. IT'S RARE!!!!!! EQ2B BATTALIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Great ahot like all trucks
1:07
That Ambulance That Was First Had The Rescue 1 FDNY Siren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's called a eq2b and most om fdny trucks have it as do most of the Chicago trucks
@@patrickmcelwee8483 Yes. The entire Chicago area should start using the European sirens (hi-lo) because the EQ2B's are making it hard for people to get enough sleep.
How about Googling why CFD has green lights, so many people asking this question
ChicagoScanner Green lights at least where I am mean medical unit/medical call
Google the history of Chicago because Chicago was at one point was a maritime port for the great lake region so the green light would represents green buroy on the right side of a channel and red on the left side of the channel
a former cfd chief started the tradition of green(Port), red (Starboard) lights on the trucks because he was a nautical buff and it tells you left or right on a fire truck or a ship.
Be better that instead of having a siren, that they changed it to;
A butt breath, this means.you. Get the hell out of the way.
Can you imagine having that coming from the front of a Fire Truck
Don't get why the ambulance has a electrontic q but the squad units don't
Squad was purchased in 2000, just before the city started w/ the EQ in '02
what's the big ambulance used for?
Thats a command center
Is this their main Station?
Cool
Nice video :)
I want to be chicago fire fighter when im older. Any tips!!
Watch fire dept chronicles’ video on interviewing and tips for beginners, as well as if you live in the suburbs, or in a small town, try to volunteer or become a junior firefighter if they have a program for it
Why is there a squad 1 and a squad 1A?
chicago squads are made up of 2 pieces, Squad 1 is a big tool box on wheels and Squad !A is the aerial.
Why is CFD required to have green lights flashing?
The fire commissioner back when CFD became motorized adopted the nautical tradition of red and green lights on boats to the rigs. It stuck.
Not required just a tradition that is fading. A foremr commissioner was a boating enthusiasts and like the maritime red/green signaling for port and starboard it was adopted at firehouses and on the rigs. Our newer rigs no longer come with the green lights as they are replaced by the more universal red/blue emergency response lighting used in Illinois
Help them please
turn on loudest EQ2B siren maunel
Nice!! 8-)
What is the truck behind squad 1?
Its second piece
Is this the busiest station in the city?
According to the stats I could find, the firehouse of Engine 101 is the busiest
Is that an ambo with a q? YES
Props to CFD but a firetruck just isn't a firetruck without a Q2B. Just one person's opinion....
I support you! lol
Mark Tarbis dRRyu
Mark Tarbis I agree I hate that electric garbage
We know what you mean!
WTH? WHY THERE'S A BATTALION WITH AN EQ2B?
Since 2002, CFD has gone with EQ2B for all vehicles including battalions.
ALL Battalion buggys have electronic Q's
Just noticed in this video there's a hotel across from the station. Good luck getting any sleep. This house is busy. Seems like a traffic signal just before the station to turn red & the one at the intersection to go green when they are departing would be very helpful. I don't like to see FFs step out in traffic for this purpose. Too many guys have been hurt & killed in car/pedestrian crashes.
Chicago dies not use electronically controlled priority traffic signals A study showed they would cause more harm than good.
Who else watched 5:25 a few times?
The two fire trucks behind ur really really really really really really really really loud
Loudest loudest loudest loudest fastest ever super fast don’t crash
Loudest loudest loudest loudest loudest air horn bqq fire
0:36; guy walking past station
can i get across before the firetruck rolls out?...hmmm......
0:41 YAY!!I BEAT THE TRUCK!!!:D...BAAAHAHHHAHHAHHHHHAAAA!
H
You all need a (Q)
Chicago sure has some odd looking boxy apparatus. Sort of on the ugly side.
Not sure about that but from 5:17 on...the view was pretty heavenly!
