@@chicagoareacta WOW! Where I'm at, my airport FD can NOT take a call outside airport property EVER unless they are special requested. They are never on an initial assignment unless it's on the property.

That rig a 2014 e one. On a side note chicago signed a contract with e one through 2024 It has 2000 gallons of water on board, 1000 gpm pump and 250 gallons of foam which I’m on a volunteer dept dumping 250 gallons of foam would seem like it takes forever. We got a 25 gallon foam system. And we order 5 gallon buckets of foam. When the guys empty the foam tank and we go back to station it takes me 1/2 hour to refill 25 gallon.
@@BoostedDeere Thanks for the info, is that a 3 or -6% concentrate? I remember the old days(70s -80s) of using 5 gallon buckets and using a foam inductor, as we didn't have built in foam tanks then!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@trob0914 -it’s usually less than one percent. I’m certified to run our new engine pump. Which has a foam system. When you hit the foam button it does all the figuring but that 25 gallon tank last 25 minutes to 30 minutes on a interior attack on a 1.5 inch line. But foam 5 gallon pails are running 200 bucks a pail delivered. In my dept we will use foam but it’s initial “knock down” or if we feel we are losing ground on the fire . There is a dept west of us they hook their engine with foam up to their ladder HOLY cow does it eat foam. I’ve seen them just dump 5 gallon jug after jug. But they will order a full skid of foam. 🤣 a full skid like 15 grand delivered.
@@BoostedDeere You have it backwards. 2,000GPM pump/1,000 gallons water. No airport or industrial apparatus that size would only have 1,000GPM. If you're reading specs, it's always Pump Capacity/Water/Foam/Aerial Size (if applicable).
@@Firebuff101 -1000 gallon tank doesn’t take a tandem axle. We run 2000 gallon a single axle but it’s pushing weight limit on a single axle rig. By the time you put gear, and a pump on a 2000 gallon tank rig you gotta go tandem axle.
Given this was shot near O'Hare, that's probably Chicago FD's AARF units. Yellow is the usual color alot of departments run, for visibility on the runway.
@@Stargazzer811 they’re at Midway too and have larger crash trucks like every other major airport, and but yeah they’re the only structural fire trucks with slime…i mean lime yellow.
No just the units at the airports have the red and blue because of federal requirements for responding on airport grounds otherwise all other cpd units only have blue lights
@@Chicagoguy1984 someone tell Mass State Police, NONE of their cruisers have red lights. looked online and there’s no requirement that they be red and blue, just blue or a mix of red and blue.
Awesome video, the rarest of the rare responses, well done!!
Nothing but the most respect for all of the first responders MAY THEY ALL BE SAFE IN EVERYTHING THEY ENCOUNTER
This is INSANE epic rare catch. Your NEVER these special units outside of the Airport !!
it’s actually in Chicago believe it or not as half of the property is against the city line, it’s rare but they’re first due there by default

you just know cpd loves to hang out in elk grove for a couple hours during a trash fire
That Groot is officially in Chicago with a Elk Grove address it’s a trick bag in a way.

AWW DARN TRUCK 63 WAS REPLACED:( AS FAR AS I KNOW OLD TRUCK 5 AND 63 WERE THE ONLY ONES WITH Q2B atleast the old tower 5 is still runnibg as a spare
Where's Rocket? of course kidding sending my love back home, missing my Chicago from California.
0:28 ONLY PIERCE TANKER
What is or does engine 10s mean
S for Spare
Why the ARFF units?
because its on airport property
Did cpd change the color of there light bars
Every video I have seen going back about 7 or 8 years shows Chicago FD with green lights on their trucks.
@@Stargazzer811 I’m not talking about fire I’m talking about the police
Its different sometimes cuz it's for airport
CPD Red and Blue is for FAA regulations those are Airport CPD Officers and The Yellow trucks are CFD Fire Department for O'hare.
No just the units at the airports have the red and blue because of federal requirements for responding on airport grounds otherwise all other cpd units only have blue lights
That place is horrible when you go dump they keep the doors closed
2:12 ONLY TANKER IN CHICAGO
Engine 9 and 10 aren't tankers. They have bigger water tanks
Chicago police has red/blue lights now? Thought they were all blue!
Only the airport units for CPD have red and blue lights, it's an FAA code.
FAA rule: Any airport police units MUST have red/blues
@@Chicagoguy1984 someone tell Mass State Police, NONE of their cruisers have red lights.

@@bostonrailfan2427 Mass State Police cover airports?
@@DFW_04 yes, by law they cover the airports and ports owned or operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority
Truck 9 had to ruin the color scheme of the call.. sigh
Lol
why is it yellow
Because it is a airport region unit. The city of chicago units are red and black but airport region goes yellow
they’re O’Hare crash rescue trucks alongside being structural firefighting trucks, they’re required to be slime yellow
@@bostonrailfan2427 ah
I only wonder why its yellow because its chicago :(
The yellow trucks are the ones that are assigned to operate at O'Hare. The federal government requires airfield rigs to be yellow.
I AM GROOT!!!
I am Groot
Hold on, is cpd is Change Their Siren Light
What the fuck is a "Siren light" ?? You mean LIGHT BAR ??? FAA requires ALL Airport police units light bars to be red/blue. Its a federal law
