Former Chicago Fire Department Rigs
The first one is a 1954 FWD that used to be Engine Company 6-3-3. It was later converted into a foam unit when it was stationed at Meigs Field. Those foam units were a big deal back then for tackling larger fires more effectively.
Next up is what was once the Academy’s engine, a 1988 Ford/E-One rig. This truck was never assigned to a regular engine company but spent its time training new firefighters. It’s got a lot of history behind it, even if it wasn’t out on the streets as often as others.
Then there’s the former Engine 30 from 1969, built by International and Pierce. It’s a classic piece of firefighting machinery that helped keep the city safe during some pretty tough times.
Moving on, we’ve got Tower Ladder 5 from 1988, a Federal/E-One 95-footer. This ladder truck was essential for reaching those hard-to-reach places during fires.
There’s also X-Tower 34 from 2002, another Pierce rig, 100 feet tall. Unfortunately, it was involved in an accident years ago, which is why it’s no longer in active service. But it still holds a special place in Chicago’s firefighting legacy.
And lastly, there’s the former Engine 115 from 1980, built by Ford and E-One. It was a workhorse during its time, handling emergencies with precision and strength.
