Interesting call

[@minecraftbrothersgaming]

Im from florida, but my opinion on squad 1 is that its not the trucks breaking down every day, it think its the lack of fully repairing the truck. If they run out of snorkel trucks, they can buy more of them, (If that was the case) but its clearly not possible right now, so im assuming that the parts that are needed to repair squad 1 and 1a arnt available either. Now i may be wrong but im taking it as a best guess, concerning how i see the spares become the frontline and the frontlines become spares.

@@polojoe2835i know, after 2020 i have seen even restaurants go downhill, even closing down, i think its just the profit, money and taxes. It’s preventing to many things, even yesterday i went to a little attraction and went inside to buy a hot chocolate (i hate the cold alot) and i was told the price was for 5.00 and a few extra cents. Just for 1 cup💀. Then for a candy (i did not like) was for 2.00 and a few extra centa. ITS ONLY 1 CANDY😭

Let my big back eat with out me seeing flys in my wallet💀😭

And my city is very republican but ofc its out of control currently cause of this. Its sad i have to compare fire trucks to candy and hot chocolate going with similar issues💀

Ivan,are firemen trained to talk down jumpers?

[@Born2doom]

Usually CPDs crisis intervention team talks down the jumpers. CFD units will respond with varies equipment including a huge inflatable Jump bag unit.

[@Stargazzer811]

Whats funny is I had just seen the post on social media from Batt 2 about this, and then I come on here and you gotta video of the new Squad 1 and 1A. In the worlds of Battalion 2, "Hope no one need's the spare engine anytime soon." They just need to give it up and order some E-One's, Pierces or Seagraves and call it done.

[@Born2doom]

The city just continued the Eone contract for several more years

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Can someone explain these trucks …. I’m understanding that they are spares , but the spare engine acting as Squad 1A looked like it was basically stripped of equipment. What is the purpose of the 1A in general but also what’s the point here if it’s basically an empty spare engine ?

Wait, if battalion 12 was dispatched, shouldn't squad 2 have been sent on that call?

[@warehamfirespark]

Not from Chicago and I don’t know a lot about them but if I had to guess if that’s squad 2s district then they were probably on another call or out of service for some reason. Squad 1 might have been next closest

@LondonEmergency999 they sure did

[@billypetty1453]

They been ran out of them the first HME Snorkel which was old 5A got auctioned off on January 24th, 2020 then the next one to go was old 1A which was auctioned off on August 16th, 2024 and then last but not least old 2A which got auctioned off on September 6th, 2024 and old E23 and Sq5 have since been put permanently OOS since they are too costly for repair so now the only available spares they have is G510 and old 687!
