Chicago Fire Department Fire Call - DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, IL

I have a lot of respect for first responders who answer the public's call for help. GOD bless the brave men/women of our Police, Fire and Paramedic Departments.

Great Catch of Engine 42 House Response!🚒🚑

news reporter: what did you do before you became a firefighter? engine 42: i was a street racer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm impressed that every firetruck has different voices, just like they have different characteristic.

Engine 42 was ready AF for that call

Engine 42 is a bat out of hell. NICE departure.

engine 42 was whipping it

Damn! The first Engine that leaves was like "Get the hell out of my way!" Haha

Plot twist: they arrived first before the fire started.

That is a freaking cool engine and tanker bay. Its fast access to the main roads and overall just looks amazing

I love Chicago Fire Department I visited all their fire stations a long time ago

Nice catch, lovely firehouse! Damn Engine 42 knows he's the king of the streets.

In most places a Truck and Ladder Company are the same thing. They do searches and ventilation. Engines put water on the fire, and run EMS. Squad or Rescue rigs are special units designed to deal with any incident that can happen. At a fire they are used as manpower rigs, they do anything from pulling hoselines to ventilation to searches.

This is my dream to be a firefighter and no one will ruin it

A shit ton of trucks responding.Reason to love Chicago Fire Department

I watch these because even though someone is in need of help, rescue is on the way and that warms my heart to tears. Please keep up the good work.

Ive been to this fire house just last year, firefighters so friendly so amazing to see them all shoot off to a call

Fire Control: “Structure Fire @ Mayor’s Lightfoot’s house” CFD: “ROFLMAO, let it burn”

Damn. 42 Engine shot outta there right quick. Great response time....

42 Thank you Sir 👍😊 thats how a fire truck are ment to be driven , nice work keep it up 👍

I love how smoothly Engine 42 left the station

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the two Chicago firefighters who passed away today. You will never be forgotten and will live on in our memories. I will see ya at the big one my brothers. Mentone fire is 10-10. We'll handle the next alarm,

Holy shit those engines really take off!

that first engine is like "race ya!"

Good video and nice greetings from Germany. We do not have as cool vehicles in the fire department as their

I love this video lol. The way them trucks just go bolting out of there like bats out of hell into a downtown scene with all them sirens. Here in the UK you can't really get a video like that, reminds me though a bit of when Soho's trucks go in London.

Did 42 drink too much antifreeze?

Engine 42 always is good and I watch a light and engine 98 because Chicago fire department is the best videos I ever watch and I watch him for my wife my whole life

Looks like a scene out Chicago Fire one of my favorite TV shows

That engine cheuff drives like my LT. and our Service truck's cheuff.

I come from watching the croatian firefighters jumping into their trucks mid-game and this IS UNDERWHELMING!

I love The Chicago Fire Truck ❤️😍🇺🇸🚒

God bless you Chicago Fire department you guys always do great job 👍🙂

Woah engine 42 was coming out so fast like MOVE!!!!!!!

Amazing video!We should have more videos like this more often!Keep up the good work!U earned a subs

That station is 2 times the size of the downtown station where I live very cool

Oh, hey, it's the real Chicago Fire!

Engine 42 was like “LETS ROCK THE BOX”

This tradition dates back to the 1930s when Fire Commissioner Goodrich, whose family operated Goodrich Transit Company, adopted the port and starboard maritime light scheme for all apparatus and firehouses

I like how there's just a ton of fire trucks going

This guys are no joke. great video pic . i could not believe the speed or the urgency to get going

This is the best video recommendation youtube has ever given me

Idk what it is about Chicago but these fuckers take fires serious it seems. Out of all the video's i've watched, these guys have the fastest response times and come flying out the fire house. Awesome stuff.

Best responding call i ever seen before !! Great Video !!!

The Difference between an engine and ladder company is the engine company puts water on the fire and the engine company does a primary search for victims while the ladder company on the other hand, does all the venting and conduct a search for victims as well. Usually the ladder company in this case runs into the burning building while everyone else is running out but here's a twist. The ladder company usually has no water between them and the fire.

Thank you for showing this Response. Anytime Chicago has the Rescue go with there snorkel makes my day. That combo unit best thing a Chief Designed into a Department.

1:19 best siren ever

Very beautiful vehicles, and a stunning response time.

It was North Wacker Drive (which is a major thoroughfare in Chicago) but yes, you're right, the ambulance was responding to a seperate call.

They are sending the Engine 1 and Ambulance 42 to an unknown call. The first dispatch before you hear the warble tone at 23 seconds is the start of a new dispatch. Hope this helps.

Let's Hear it for the First responders of the Chicago Fire Dept . brave men and women who put their lives on the line everyday !

My Uncle was the Deputy District Chief here until he retired (just before this was taken, I believe). Got to join him and the other firefighters for lunch once. Awesome guys!

"Show Me Your Firetruck" plays in my head whenever I watch a Chicago fire response.

Let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply by Chicago fd responding keep them safe out there in the windy city of Chicago job well done you should be amazed and proud great catches as usual way to go ! Joe

Excellent response time and professionalism from the CFD! Though I'm not a fan of the EQ2B, it actually sounds pretty good on Ambulance 42, for some reason! Thank you for your service!

0:54 can it take off any faster 😂

Engine 42 was like: Fuck this I’m out.

@FmasterJG No in Chicago the normal fire station is an engine, truck,and an ambulance, however in downtown since it is so dense there are very few fire stations, which means that the stations must house many more vehicles than the normal station

Put in my app to be a volunteer for my fire dept while full time in college!

I was surprised to see two command buggies, until I saw one of them going a different direction. When the boom truck left, I was further surprised to hear an electronic warble siren, which strangely, for awhile, became the norm, about when lime yellow was introduced (but didn't carch on). The biggest surprise was hearing that Federal Q scream from the med wagon. I still believe the mechanical scream is easier to hear, sounds farther, and has the benefit of vibrating soundproof car windows. Sorry for the editorial. Excellent, orderly turnout!

I've had the chance to tour that station, it's a pretty neat place.

LOVE the Q on the ambulance

Sou socorrista do SAMU 192 no Brasil, gostaria muito de conhecer as bases e as equipes dos paramédicos e dos bombeiros nos estado unidos, parabéns pra todos

Thank you to all our first responders, especially in a big city like Chicago. I can't imagine. Also, what was the emergency for this response, and what was the outcome?

Everything was done correctly. Battalion chief used his vehicle to block intersection so responding ladder truck could proceed with minimal stopping.

Engine 42: Sorry baby, I've got to work tonight. GF: But my parents aren't home Engine 42: 0:53

Good lord! That engine was yo fast!

0:52 When she says she's alone at home

@pkferrariman The snorkel is not the tower ladder, it is part of the two piece squad (squad1 and 1A). Tower ladder is responding from a different station.

I love the siren that truck 3 has same with the squad one

Dang!!! 42 was HAULING!!

medic 42 is responding to a big fire for that call really fast.

Nice big firehouse 🧑‍🚒🚒

I love this house! Too bad the spare snorkel isn't kept here anymore, but at least Squad 1 lives here now. This house was first due at a 4-11 alarm high rise fire last night at 171 W Oak.

0:51 "It's first due or nothin! Ain't nobody gonna be water supply!"

CFD knows their stuff that is for sure. Was up there last year visiting family and saw a CFD engineer (I think that is the rank for the driver) driving smooth as can be going to a call. He was handling that Pierce aerial like a sports car-never saw anyone drive a fire truck like that.

Gee never seen so many pumps going out to a call,in the UK its standard for two pumps per call and in some cases two pumps and one TTL.nice videolove the sirens

I saw engine 42 and ambulances 42 this year when I was at downtown Chicago Illinois with my sister and I’m from Ohio

I love the sound of American Police/Fire Cars

i wish we had a station like that. and trucks. we only have 4 trucks well 2 the others dont work.

This is GREAT quality for 2010 I thought this vid was posted like yesterday!

The ambulance isn't attending the fire alarm. If you listen carefully, the CAD instructs, "Ambulance 42, Engine One. Westbank Street and North Blackhall Drive - Persons Down To Unknown Cause!"

Engine 42 was ahead of the Battalion Chief's...Ah Eng. 42 was ready to roll, I could swear the DE didn't even look before pulling out the that bay lol.

Damn in Chicago they have all that in a fire station like shit in NYC the ambulance are around driving or parked under a bridge. The fire trucks are in the stations.

I'm the 1K comment and this was my child hood video!

cool station! It's huge compared to most fire houses in cities.
