Chicago 2-11 on 12/7

Chicago experienced a 2-11 alarm fire yesterday on the near South Side, just before the Leyden fire. Jeff Rudolph was at the scene of this earlier incident, which was quickly brought under control. Before heading to the Leyden fire, he captured several images and submitted them for coverage. The fire occurred at 1500 33rd Street.

Squad 1 uses their Snorkel unit for an elevated master stream. The 55' Snorkels have been a fixture with the Squad companies in Chicago for many years. Their fate is unknown as American LaFrance, the owner/manufacturer of the Snorkel, no longer offers the product. Jeff Rudolph photo

Of the 96 engine companies in Chicago, roughly 15 still run with these HME SFO/Luverne engines that have a much shorter wheelbase. Here, Engines 39 (1999) and 28 (1997) are pumping side by side at the 2-11, which is somewhat of a rarity. Jeff Rudolph photo

These photos give a unique look into the quick response and coordination of the Chicago Fire Department during an emergency. It's always interesting to see how different units work together, especially when multiple pieces of equipment are involved. The presence of older models like the HME Luverne engines highlights the history behind the departmentâ€™s fleet. As technology evolves, it's also fascinating to watch how some long-standing equipment, like the Snorkel, may eventually be phased out.
