PCFD...on the job!

Reminds me of New Ro's Engine 273(LOL!) Here's a pic of it from x635(Seth): http://x635photos.com/displayimage-116-6.html

Yeah, it sure looks like it's seen plenty of action. Personally, I think the fact that it's got the booster would win me over if I had the money.

A nice, classic Mack CF. I honestly don't think I've ever seen one like it with a manual transmittion before. Must have been cool to drive it around to jobs.

That's similar to Stamford, CT. Their DC is SFRD Unit 4, but their spare DC's car is also Unit 4.

Two things I noticed in the trailer about the show that I found interesting: In one scene, in the middle of a building fire, two guys aren't wearing SCBA. Despite being surrounded by smoke, they aren't even choking. Also, Squad 3(a fictional company) is responding to a call in the real CFD's Squad 1's district. Also, all Squads in the CFD, save the one at O'Hare, have a mini-snorkel 2nd piece, a rig that for some reason doesn't exist in the show. Maybe they couldn't find an ex or spare snorkel squad around.

As Johnny Cash once sang: "You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, sooner or later God will cut you down." Glad the officers are okay. Good riddance to that piece of scum.

Okay. Special Operations(S.O.) 1 is mainly the GFD's mobile command post quartered at Fire Headquarters. I may also serve as a Special Unit, similar to like a U.S.A.R., however, I may be wrong.

Nah. Look at Philly. Down there, they never heard of leather, not in the past forty years anyway. You know, you're right.

Awesome pics there Kyle. So, Greenwich is going with the Charger now for squad cars? Nice GFD shots there, Car 5, Tower 1. Amazing that Central Fire Station is going to be torn down soon. Also, nice shots of Special Operations 1. By the way, does anyone know if that rig's ever been used, or at least at a job?

Ironically, the fire took place on Emmett Street. That's my name, spelled exactly the same way.
