if someone could be so kind to maintain a certain velocity under urgency priority now to pull me out as above the cinematographical suggestion implies, I would be very very thankful indeed... Le p'tit Daniel, what they do now leads to a blocking-necessity that - for God in heaven very very sure - would never be given up by me, since it is my first and last rescue-line into life ( ...as horrible as it is and it is horrible indeed... ) ... ...but the effects as a consequence reduce me to some basal and rudimentary lingering illness the consequences of which are very horrible and gruesome themselves and go into the bargain... ...and for sure finally would have me perished to death within months now, I'd guess, cause there ain't no way for me to counteract...

1987. Was that the last year firefighters hung on to the rigs that were responding?

@@jonstefanik9400 Yes. About 1991 or 1992, with the NFPA standard, all apparatus where build with the close cabin, firefighters must go seat inside.

When was Truck 46 disposed of?

@@TheJordanHunt3riirc the original truck 46 was destroyed in the flip scene just a couple of seconds after this but there were a couple of others.

Agreed

Yes indeed

Way better than Ladder 49.

Ladder 49 is also excellent

Engine 17 is a rehabbed 1970 Ward LaFrance/Ranger/EOne 2000 GPM pumper one of six such rigs in the CFD at the time,Truck 46 was a rehabbed 1972 Mack/Pirsch 100' ft rearmount.

Miami Vice, babay! I'm old. And, that's not a movie. Never mind.

That was his own gear he left at the station before moving to OFI

Sometimes OFI use bunker pants and jacket and helmets

@@danielzouma9447 he was still a candidate and they reissued him gear in the end of the movie even thought the only thing he lost was a helmet

@@danielzouma9447 they did not have bunker pants at that time it was long jackets and Boots Chicago fire department did not start using bunker pants the whole bunker apparatus until late 2000s

Man I thought I was the only one who ever thought that! 🚒🚒🚒

For me, the goosebumps start at 0:32.

I get goosbumps in exciting scenes too!

​@@MAnuscript421same he running towards fire while subway is going opposite way. And since the trucks are under it it's like they are running to the fire black ops mode

​@@SPN16I was referring to the Hans Zimmer score.

Hi Shawn - in the opening scene with Ladder 46 as a TDA (a 1976 International tractor with a Seagrave trailer as I recall offhand) it is meant to represent the late 1960s or early 1970s. Later in the movie when we next see ladder 46 it is meant to be the early 1990s (20 years later I think?) so the producer wanted to show Ladder 46 as being “modern” with a straight stick. Hence the updated headlights and warning lights on it - even though the rig used as the “modern” ladder 46 is a 1972 Mack with a Pirsch 100ft stick, ex CFD ladder 5. Its ladder was out of commission too hence why if you look closely you’ll see they never show the ladder raised on it. They used other rigs for the raised ladder scenes (look closely at the differences in the ladder) I am by no means an expert, just some info I knew offhand I have gleaned from various sources. Theres a FB page dedicated to the Backdraft rigs - look up Chicago Fire Backdraft Engine 17. They actually own the 2 rigs used in the movie for Engine 17/51 and a few others.

Like the other guy said it was like in the 60s or 70s and then later 46 gotten a upgrade for their truck

@@danielzouma9447 i saw a photo and it was during the movie shooting that it showed the ladder trucks lined up and in between the tiller truck and MACK Ladder Truck it showed Truck 46 but it was a American LaFrance aireal ladder. My guess is that the American LaFrance was used in the late 70s-late 80s

@@mjb430 I heard those rigs are used at the annual Chicago Fire Muster and Firematic Flea Market at the Fire Academy on DeKoven Street!

Don't forget Ambulance 88.

Ladder 49 no where near as backdraft

@@CTJ893 ik but it just brings up ladder 49 in my mind

Congrats man!

Well done sir, keep it up

My friend's a lieutenant in the Providence Fire Dept.

@@jonstefanik9400 good for them

Thank You!Big respect for the dangerous job,it is not for everyone (I could never do it!) !Are you living every day fullest? It must be very hard to be first responders wife/husband...🤗

Don't know if axe had an actual rank... But he would have been under a lieutenant and senior over a "probie" (probationary firefighter)

Axe would have been a senior firefighter. He may have been passed over for promotion or choose not to take the examinations to become an officer.

Like what the hell are you doing on my truck? 😂

@@csxfloridafunnelrailfan3065 like "Are you supposed to be on Engine 17 with your brother Stephen?"

@@csxfloridafunnelrailfan3065 they were on a variance that day 🤷🏾‍♂️

It is funny because He was not a signed to that station.

Unless you are a fireman you are not allowed near the fire station in reality.
