[box15c22]

[wannabenj]

Great video Doc,as usual.Lay off Doc,he's the man !!!

[matchboxfireEMS]

Nice I like it.

[four4vizslas]

How come the engine is backing-into the station like that?

I really, really, like the station!

[zaffdoc]

@four4vizslas >>---> I am sure there was another rig in the station, but I don't remember what it was. Maybe someone from Chicago area can answer .

[dabull7114]

@zaffdoc

Engine 98 shares quarters with Amb 11.

[aceofspades245]

@four4vizslas how else are they supposed to get in, theres no rear bay door

[mldnlkk6]

haha wheres the fat guy Stroh 

[shrk33]

I'm amazed these guys back up the rig so easily with such a small room for error. Same goes with most big cities-SF, NY, DC Boston etc.

[TheForgottenRage]

hahahah 3 red cars in a row went by=P

*drummer*-Mike

[aceofspades245]

@TheForgottenRage

Does that include the fire engine

[alter656667]

I love the green lights on the CFD engines. And the ambulance has a single beacon!

[GerDrSeltsam]

Looks like the ghostbuster Headquarter XD

[instideath]

ghostbuster headquarters is Ladder 8 in Manhattan

[twinboysfire52]

awesome video

[deeringeric]

@foxx the lights on the ambulance are working.

[foxxracerstud87]

good vid.....the lights on the ambo must have decided not to work that day though lol

[padrak18]

Soooooo ??? Are we supposed to be

impressed or did you have another

point you were trying to get accrossed?

Maybe I would be impressed if I were

a 10 year old. :(

[zaffdoc]

Lighten up... Padrak

[kdub0911]

The video was to show history of chicago and CFD. So keep your ignorance to yourself.

[NavyDoc007]

I am NOT a 10 year old and I am impressed. I have been in EMS and the life saving business a while. The lights and siren still excite me, even after almost 10 years.

[firepower782]

What the hell does "acrossed" mean? You dumbass! Don't sit there and watch the damn thing then make a shithead comment about it!

[occdude01]

you know, not all videos are supposed to "IMPRESS" you.. take time to appreciate those who would save your ass when you need it..

[pumperman26]

@padrak18 If you had any appreciation for the honor and traditions of the fire service you would appreciate this. This is one of the few firehouses that survived the great Chicago Fire. Lose the attitude and have a little more respect, it would do ya good.

[spudfour]

@padrak18 Lay off the Doc man.

[TheFireman203]

i love those green command lights

[four4vizslas]

I think that is a cool vid. I will look at others. Does Chicago have any full picture pages of apparatus O fire radio on the net for free --- like FDNY? Thanks for the reply.

[LADDERTRUCK53]

the new engine 98 and ambulance 11 is awesome

[CORYSPHOTOS]

COOL VIDEO REALLY LIKED IT. please view mine CORYSPHOTOS> keyword medicambulance or vallejofire.

[RalphFDNY4life]

I love that city!

[LADDERTRUCK53]

i saw the station on saturday and friday i like the christmas lights on the station and the new engine that one is the old engine 98 and i like the new ambulance i saw 20 fire trucks on michigan ave 2 of them where engine 98 and 4 of them is ambulance 11

[machinehead24]

lol the people dont even stop haha

[MidnightPolak]

why does CFD use green lights on their trucks/engines?

[Eng109Dr]

Many years ago one of the fire chiefs was really into boating so he had a green light put on the fire trucks.

[upsguy03]

That is great!! I was just there Saturday!! It is cool to see their previous engine and ambulance on video!!

[LADDERTRUCK53]

what street is it on

[zaffdoc]

East Chicago Ave.

[HITMANHITMAN2000]

i didnt realize how old this video was until i saw that ambulance...wow...when did chicago switch from van to the e-series type 3's? im guessing it had to be around this same time...

[MettaFireRescue]

CFD first 'experimented' with Type-III's in 1992 using 5 Type-III's placed in the downtown district (so placed to test maneuverability in congested downtown streets). In 1995 the Econoline ambulances were slowly but steadily replaced with Type-IIIs. The final Econoline was removed from service in 1998.

[CDPDPatrolUnit]

Love that wail!

[upsguy03]

I love Chicago!! I am going down there this summer to try to get a lot of video!

[fire904]

wow! Nice Ford Econoline. Where do you get that stuff?

[b719]

Doc Zaffater himself(Sorry if i spelled it wrong Doc) filmed it I'm pretty sure.
