Chicago fire apparatus parade held near the CFD Fire Academy on Aug. 19, 1997. All sorts of great looking rigs, plus some beautifully restored pieces. Even a little footage of the old Chicago Water Tower.
I absolutly LOVE going to these every year. Never get to see the parade, but afterwards with the Water Tower is absolutly Great! Awesome Video as always!
And oh yeah while other engine company's have moved on to the newer Spartan Luvernes if you go to Chicago/Milwaukee engine 14 has the same engine they had 14 years ago.
Does anyone know who made the wig-wag light on the nose of the red/white ALF 700 that begins @ 3:30? I've only seen a few of those lights and I've never been able to find out what they were called.
Very nice video. I uploaded a video I shot of a parade in honour of the voluntary fire brigade of Dieren that celebrated there 100 anniversary (small town in the Netherlands)
