Chicago 5-11 Alarm Warehouse Fire

[@alarmoffice711]

"Requesting the spare snorkel outta 35's house" Love hearing that.

[@ElijahPerrin80]

2:12 I love the hard suction hose used chicago style on a pressurized hydrant, not many examples of this and very few departments use this technique but the large diameter lower pressure hydrant design of Chicago makes them capable of amazing flows with skill. Cool and thank you.

[@TEXASJUNK1]

STEVE EXCELLENT EXCELLENT. IT'S ON MY TOP 10 LIST.. THIS VIDEO TRULY MADE ME FEEL I WAS ON THE SCENE YOU WERE SO CLOSE. THANKS FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THIS SCENE ! YOUR BUDDY KEVIN---*

[@JLJ061]

Classic Chicago job, you don't get much of these anymore... superb work, Steve!!

[@Bulldog1653]

I've seen this fire video on ShapPhoto's channel and it's cool to see it from different angles. Seeing the old school snorkel go to work is pretty amazing. This looked like one HELL of a big fire.

[@MrChief77]

Was listening to this early on Sunday. Great job brother! Will pass this on to the younger guy's. Thanks BIG DOG !!

[@jerryspies6857]

Beautiful editing You covered this perfectly. God bless my brothers in fire.

[@FmasterJG]

Chicago is real heavy on that PPV I see. Ive seen that PPV rig in a few videos already. Good tactic.

[@dabull7114]

Superb job as always, Steve!

[@ChiraqVet]

I'd like to see longer videos. I know these last longer than 10 minutes. I live watching CFD work the box.

[@chuckman231]

Great video Steve!

[@alarmoffice711]

MultiMonster69 Turret wagon or deluge wagon has 2 large deck guns to throw a heavy stream of water, hose wagon come from engine 26 & engine 81's house the old snorkel is from engine 35's house, turret from engine 108 & engine 104

[@tevanothebest2757]

Turret wagons are no longer in service the CFD removed them from service when the Chicago civil defense went out of service because the current wagons were used only by the civil defense.

[@alarmoffice711]

Tevanothebest2 Chicago just put 2 new turret wagons in service last year at 6-7-3 w/ Engine 108 & 6-7-6 w/ Engine 104, check your info

[@tevanothebest2757]

ChicagoScanner nope not true as why the dispatcher did not send one when he was requesting one he asked a turrent wagon in a form of a questin thats why one was not there.

[@tevanothebest2757]

ChicagoScanner there no longer in service after the civil defense went out anyways a turrent wagon is no match for what a snorkel can do today

[@tevanothebest2757]

ChicagoScanner​​ and by the way there very slow to even drive as the trucks were made in the 40s and by the way nobody makes them anymore and by the way they don't have the green light on it which makes it not up to Chicago code.next time check your info your trying to say that companies are still making turrent wagons when they don't anymore current wagons are no match for today's technology.

[@MrOaf67]

cfd good job !! be safe for what little you guys make

[@andrewlundell8560]

Great Video!

[@ScarletandGrey4ever]

How in the heck did the fire start next door to the original call? Flying burning debris?

[@xheralt]

Hose wagon is a hose carrier, needed if you're running lines in and/or from distant hydrants. I'm guessing that "turret wagon" is an alternative term for deluge unit? Not the usual CFD terminology, maybe invented on spot based on other rigs being called wagons?

[@terrymartin6892]

In the last couple of years--why so few videos on the C F D.???.

[@cfdmike2565]

How to you get the radio trafic

[@anthonyleetwowayradios]

Likely a police scanner. I believe CFD was on VHF analog at that time before switching to UHF P25.

[@norellpolk]

there was a large fire in that area back in 1966 zimmerbox factoty fire it was on elston ave but what hundred block

[@R5H4D0W]

old warehouse, boarded up windows, either a bad electrical works or a transients sausage burning out of control. Looks hot. While investigating, how do they assess the flashover risk with enclosed brick housings like this?

[@MultiMonster69]

would the MVU be considered a primary appartus?

[@xheralt]

The official term is Mobile Ventilation Unit (MVU), but I love the other name they use for it, "Smoke Ejecter".

[@alarmoffice711]

2-1-9 is requesting a Turret Wagon, we have one right? lol

[@littleblitz8239]

+ChicagoScanner 272 call this office...what the hell is a turret wagon 272.

[@crispycritterz]

Big John is retired now right?

[@MrDdunn11965]

all turret wagons are in reserve

[@tevanothebest2757]

David Dunn there no longer in service the CFD removed them from service when the Civil defense went out of service because turrent wagons were only used by the Chicago civil defense anyways they would have been no help as they are no match to what a snorkel can do today.

[@tevanothebest2757]

David Dunn this is explained by how one did not show up when the firefighter requested for one also explained by how the dispatcher kinda said a turrent wagon in a form of a question.

[@crispycritterz]

They're fighting a 311 right now. Bet they wish they had it.

[@AndyMan18]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX7RgpStmJaVZtE. Here’s a video of the turret wagon at a different fire. Chicago has had them since the sixties

[@joeburros4878]

Hmmm does the city not have scba

[@ChiraqVet]

Now that's a ventilation fan right there.

[@USAMex00]

3 years later and a 2-11 happens across the street from this...

[@xheralt]

such as Light Wagon (9-1-2), Foam Wagon (6-3-1)

[@tevanothebest2757]

Its rare for them to send out the hose wagon

[@MultiMonster69]

[@DavidC1]
