They did change squad 1As siren to EQ2B! I prefer the older siren because it’s kinda tiring hearing the same siren always and I prefer a variety of sirens, but amazing catch!

[@adrianacardenasrodriguez5299]

Lllo

[@Clem73]

That was actually an older Sqaud 5A unit, which had the EQ2B as it’s original siren

[@southlafirephotography]

Squad 1A using their former unit as a reserve interesting. Nice clips!

[@FB1ResponseVideos]

sick video dude. love that mobile command post

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

while it's the standard in central Europe, this is the only station in the USA I know which is able to respond with that amount of trucks at once. Great video!

[@emergencyresponsevideosand4423]

Theres many others, orlando fire station 1 has more units then i thoughht

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@emergencyresponsevideosand4423 still an entirely different dimension, even Orlando's big house would only be average size at best here

@Emergency response Videos and returning fire medic largest station in my state is currently upgraded from 47 to 55 bays ...and it's still far from being the largest in the country. Largest ones I know take up an entire city block

[@alexandernunez109]

Definitely one of your best videos!!

[@PMichaels]

Awesome catches! So much cool stuff in one video. 👍🏼

Dang Squad 1 has the motorola siren oh my goodness. I cannot believe you've caught the whole station

[@Squad37]

That was awesome! Great video.

Nice dude!

[@emvvehicles_8]

Engine 42 Truck 3 and Command 271 is overdue for replacement

[@90210FireBuff]

Command not really because it doesn't go on many calls. Engine 42 and Truck 3 I agree

[@sayjebenjamin6006]

John Schuster I think we could say that most of Chicago is due for replacement

[@OklahomaEmergency]

Awesome catches!!

[@jmart01]

If you go to Google Maps and see the Street View outside of the station, you'll clearly see a STOP on the road to prevent blocking the exit for the emergency vehicles. Clearly seems to be working.

[@emvvehicles_8]

They need to add traffic lights there

[@jmart01]

John Schuster There are traffic lights there. The Stop sign is before passing the station in order to prevent the blocking during a red light.

[@emvvehicles_8]

Jesus M ah, so now the solution is gates, gates that lower when there’s a call, I mean it’s a one way street so why not?

[@emergencyfirstresponders4413]

FABULOUS!

[@Train155]

So you're back in Chicago I see? Great catches, love the old squads. Love the response!

[@90210FireBuff]

I was there for 2 weeks. Back home now.

[@PK4Senate]

Great Video! Thanks!

[@SilverFolfMedia]

Ah the Motorola Spectre on Reserve and older units doesn’t get old

[@zacheryfryer6973]

Engine 42 has a Regular Federal Q, why use the Electric One...

[@90210FireBuff]

It's not a real Q it's a replica

[@jarryths7455]

What is up with the green light for Chicago Fire Department's apparatus?
