Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to ChicagoFD.org. The site is very well done and includes a lot of history of the Chicago Fire Department.
The site is described as: Welcome to the ChicagoCivilDefense.org – Fire & Rescue Unit / E.P.D.S. Website. Dedicated to Robert J.Quinn, Fire Commissioner / Acting Director, and ALL former members of the Chicago Civil Defense & the Chicago Fire Department.
You could spend hours on this site watching their videos, looking at pictures, and learning about the Chicago FD. You can also listen to live dispatch.
Here is something you don’t hear everyday…
Battalion 19 at a working fire on 9/16/2010 at approx 05:50 hrs. calls Englewood to report Squad 5 picking up and they are refusing. Battalion 19 orders the Office to send in a Deputy (2-2-5) because he has a disorderly Squad Co. Listen to the audio here
Chicago Fire Department RESCUE ME
This is a great video that shows hard work at getting brother firefighters out of harms way. What I found amazing was how the first guy who was rescued then stayed on the ladder and helped rescue the next guy.
