The odd thing is is that they use the actual rigs for the show's filming in between calls , and they use the real sirens in the trucks it's just the cameras that are used that cause them to sound different. During the filming of the TV show they have very little time to film before the real guys have to run off with the rigs.
@@josephbennett3482 not all are used by the real CFD. Engine 51 is a fake Luvern, it is actually a Pierce with a fake front. That was bought by the production company. Squad 3 was an active spare, but they bough a suburban squad that was being sold, and repainted it. The only one I can think of that might be in use as an active spare is the Seagrave. At one time, yes they were all active spares used in filming, but none were ever front line apparatus for the CFD.
@@austinlawler3739 yes they are all main units that are used for the show there is a behind the scenes video of the show and the production crew and the department both say that they have to film quickly before another call goes out. The only thing that is fake is the stations on the show , that building is artificial.
The trucks seen in Chicago fire are not only old spares and the such, as someone else pointed out. These current trucks with CFD use the Federal Signal EQ2b An electric version of the mechanical Q2b siren which to my knowledge was phased out of CFD usage due to noise pollution in the downtown area. The sirens used in Chicago fire sound like old Code-3/Federal signal sirens, perhaps even updated/older smart sirens. Which given my thoughts on the age of the trucks in Chicago fire would explain some things.
The guys at Station 42 are pretty used to being filmed since they're one of the biggest houses and right in the middle of downtown... Needless to say, they get recorded a lot.
Superbe video! I read an article about those two Squad rigs that works toghether, one with aerial platform and one without. Nice team. What exactly means "Hi rise"?
YES the History on the Development of the snorkel lift on the second Rig. The Chief back then saw a Tree trimmer lift and had the FD shops build there own special Rig. Great History and ideas from Chief at that time in History.
Chicago fd your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there in the windy city of Chicago job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks good catch as usual ! Joe
Great job great catches as usual by Chicago fd responding your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks keep them safe out there even in the windy city of Chicago you guys rock still going strong way to go appreciate you guys ! Joe
There is also one reserve snorkel (6-6-1) kept in service, a long-frame 80's-vintage unit. It only gets brought out as a special on massive industrial fires.
Green wasn't exclusive to command units in Chicago. Never was. Green on the right front (and only right front) on ALL CFD RIGS (not ambos) was a reference to Chicago's maritime heritage. ETA: found the name downthread. The first commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department, Albert Goodrich, owned a steamship shipping lines, he started it.
Chicago in particular tends to front-load responses a bit more heavily than many other places. Might have something to do with a certain Great Fire they never want to happen ever again...take NO chances!

@@stripemcr5722 while visiting Chicago several years ago I stopped in the Wrigleyville firehouse (E78, A6) and a firefighter there told me the green light on the passenger (starboard) side stemmed from maritime laws as Lake Michigan plays a major role in the city's history. He could have been yanking my chain but I've always considered that solid information.
In my hometown of Concord New Hampshire (USA) Police Vehicle's are All Blue Light's (No Red's), Fire Truck's & Ambulance's are Red, White & Amber Light's (No Blue's) & Security Vehicle's are Green Light's.
I bet u cant even tour a station in chicago for very long without a call coming in. Lol. Does anybody know if the electronic q can have a rumbler? Thatd be sweet
It goes back to the 1920s, when Albert Goodrich was named fire commissioner. The scion of a family who owned a steamship line that operated on the Great Lakes, his heart was always partly on the water. To honor his maritime roots, he dictated that all Chicago firehouses display a green light on the left and red on the right, just as harbor entrances are lighted, and later this tradition was carried over to apparatus, with a red light on the port (left, from the con) side and green on the starboard (right).
1:25 I like how the red and green lights have been positioned, it makes it looks more like a boat ;-). Nice to see blue lights now too.
@1:14 the sound of that engine though😍
Ikkkk
That's a truck
2 Stroke, Running and repair He’s talking about the actual engine inside the truck
Detroit 60 series with turbo. Best sound.
Am I the only one who heard the engine give a 2 tone?
1:53 huh interesting how they changed the middle Mars light into a up down pattern LED. Seems pretty cool TL 10 has that too!
metra force it looks like they just turned it sideways
@@brennancrumb835 The can't get parts t for the center mars light any more.. When the go bad they replace them with the LED. Engine 22 is 2002
Can't beat (Chicago built) Mars 888s chrome/l.e.d. red or white 👍
0:39 sounds like an old EMS GTA siren lol
Does someone knows what siren is used there ? (I know it's Yelp thx, searching a brand and a model)
Colin Coisnard It’s a federal signal EQ2b
Right, I knew I ever heard it somewhere
@herewithcoffee siren on FDNY are same as these ones 😉
It's electric Federal Eq2b used by FDNY
Hofileña Mart Just for the record, Chicago has been using them a lot longer than FDNY
I’ve got one of their ex ambulance’s The number was F104
The sirens sound a whole lot different in real life then in the show Chicago Fire
Jack Volpe that’s because Chicago fire is very in accurate as most fd tv shows are.

0:22 so nobody caught that? No...? Ok then.
did he flip the camera guy off? It appears so after going back and watching it again lol
Firemedic10584 No..Peace.
MintTablett look closer. He throws the peace sign then changes it to the bird. Watch it again
Firemedic10584 actually he changes it to a thumbs up, not the bird

What exactly means "Hi rise"?
High rise=skyscraper
IIRC this building is 12 stories tall. (Been about 6 months since I've been inside)

@@rp1645 Interesting!
Does that scanner at the end get the phase 2 system
0:23 best firefighter ever LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
Chicago Fire in real life!
Was expecting to see Lt Severide to jump out of squad. America doesn't half have some badass looking firetrucks.
With Chief Boden !
@@Babounet02 now your talkin
HELIX 0
What is the manufacture of the Squad 1? ( Ferrara Spartan ...)?
Looks real sharp!
Ron Paker Rosenbauer
Rosenbaur Commander
It's the European-ization of the American Fire Engine. Slowly but surely. Because you know...Europe does everything so much better right?
NeilLB7 it looks so damn ugly
@@NeilLB7 Pierce, Seagrave, Sutphen, anything but European manufacturers, let them have European countries and let us have North American countries!

Chicago FD is definitely had my favorite
What is the radio frequency for this part of Chicago?
Main
Great job great catches as usual by Chicago fd responding your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks keep them safe out there even in the windy city of Chicago you guys rock still going strong way to go appreciate you guys ! Joe
Is that.... A rotating blue light on the ends of the squad truck? Or is that just the camera playing tricks?
When can I apply to CFD, recruitment is avaiable all the time? What is the point system? How many recruits for one place?
I don't get to see alit of CFD. But when I do I see most sticks for the truck co.'s.
Do they run any tower ladders? Specifically mid mounts?
They have 10 tower ladders, I think they're all rear-mount. Also each of the 4 squad companies has an articulating "Snorkel" style Rosenbauer ACP
There is also one reserve snorkel (6-6-1) kept in service, a long-frame 80's-vintage unit. It only gets brought out as a special on massive industrial fires.
0:23 Truck 3 leaves out
1:10 Truck 3 arrives
They were first due ladder so, & S1 is all the way on the west side that’s some pretty good response times
2:22 I love that old ladder
SRR< sweet catch. What type of rig was Squad 1?
ROSENBAUER
JB, thanks,
It's ugly, that's what.
Nightmare Fredbear you can’t talk because you’re stuck in 2011 with that Fnaf username
At least my name is well known, who the hell is jester?
Engine 42, Engine 4, Engine 22 Tower Ladder 10, Truck 3, Truck 19, Ambo 11, SQ 1, Batt 12, 4-5-1.
They got blue and red lights on the new engines?? Liked the green/red!
xheralt because of the commanding units had the green beacons?
Me too kid

hahaha massive box alarm turn out... then 'cooking in apartment 309... sending everybody home' 🤣
Great job Steve
This is a huge turn out for a regular alarm in operation. Is this unique to Chicago/other mega-city fire departments in the US?
Chicago in particular tends to front-load responses a bit more heavily than many other places. Might have something to do with a certain Great Fire they never want to happen ever again...take NO chances!
Nyfd and chicago have the same siren first truck
Yep! A Federal Signal EQ2B
Chris Linder it’s FDNY
Doge Gamer66 I know you from SONY LOL
ChiefMaxAviation yessir
What’s up with those huge front bumpers? A dude can take a nap on that
Robert G a lot of times they have cross lays (hose lines) in there
You could sleep, dance, roll around, have a party and all that jazz
Sweet catches from Chicago's Bravest.
I’m so happy for the new Chicago brand truck 3
When & why did the Chicago Fire Department start putting Police Light's on their vehicle's?
At the time, [quote=Megabyte] new CFD leadership got a bug up their ass about national standards of visibility, or some such BS, and mandated the change.[/quote]
Thanks for sharing 👍
0:22 LOL THEY WAVED
I love the SUVs.
Cool. I also have a WS1040.
does the green light indicates the seat belts???
No
@@happyjack880 then it has got something to do with history as I was able to find out ... just rare

Are you mostly CFD?
Love them green lights
2:22old truck?
Yes spare
Nice catch, loving the blue lights on the trucks

It's stupid. They already had red, green, yellow, and white. Why did they need a fifth color? To look like the Ghostbusters?!
Should have been left at red white and blue for visibility.
Green and Red just looks like a moving traffic light/Christmas tree.
So let me see if I've got this right.
All this fuse for what turned out to be a food on the stove run?
Well it is a 12(?) story OMD with many senior citizen residents.
Squad 1 is sharp!
Chicago fire 🔥 is my favourite
Nice!
Love the trucks
That driver by the crosswalk though. I thought NY was bad.
Damn that’s truck 1 and the other truck were Hella sexy I wish our stations can get some of those
I bet u cant even tour a station in chicago for very long without a call coming in. Lol.
Does anybody know if the electronic q can have a rumbler? Thatd be sweet
Nice catch. I subscribed!
Where are all the people?
In chicago, everyone sinks into the sidewalks when we hear sirens
still dont know why you included their exact address in the video
That's a huge response without seeing one puff of smoke.......just saying
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Fire_Department
Go down to the communications section to see the assignments for the various alarms.
How many apparatus for a High Rise response?
1st-alarm Still in high-rise sends 3 engines, 2 trucks, 3 battalion chiefs, 1 deputy district chief, 1 squad, 1 command van, 1 ambulance, 1 paramedic chief
When did they get these new squad trucks? I loved the old ones so much 😩
They bought the new rosenbauer commanders in 2017, they bought 4 with snorkels and 4 without, one of each making up the two piece squad.
An Army of Red
Why do some fire trucks have those big bumpers
Wow 😳
Nice catch
I
wanna join your team
Squad 1 has a dance floor on the front bumper. How silly
Wood Duck Under the collapsable stripper pole?
@@CCscott unser the Mattress, duh!
🤣
1 and 1A are fave trucks.
I really dislike that green light thing that CFD have.
I know why not Blue? Green is for volunteers here!
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 where I live in MI if there is a green light on a fire truck it's where the incident commander is

This unit on upper Columbus
All that for food on the stove
👍👍👍
Squad 1is about Ugliest piece of apparatus I think I have ever seen
Wish they still had the HMEs as Frontlines
Looks like when covid19 first started
Weird sound in terms of siren you have there in America hahah
Well, we think that two-tone HEE-HAW siren Europe favors is weird, so there!
Fire ladder truck American
I for one can't stand the sound the electronic Q2b makes it sounds like a toy.
Fire truck rosenbauer American
Police car American
Stupid truck. Whats with the deck on long ugly deck on front of that one new truck number 1
That's Squad 1. And that's a cable. For only MVA accidents
Ugly siren!
Half expected to see Cheif Boden show up in Battalion 25.
First
No one cares
Brennan Crumb Fire Buff first 👍👍👍👍👍
Sqaud 1A is ugly, simply because of the cherry picker.
It nice because the SNORKEL is easy to operate
It's nice because with a short wheelbase, it can park itself places a tower ladder can't get in to.
Those squads are butt ugly ngl
