Dan McInerney from the Oak Park and Countryside Fire Departments shared a link to the CFD website, which includes updates about the new fireboat being developed for the Chicago Fire Department.
Here's what was shared on the site:
The Chicago Fire Department is acquiring a brand-new NFPA Type III fireboat to replace their 60-year-old vessel, the Victor L. Schlaeger. This modern fireboat will be designed and built to operate year-round in Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and surrounding harbors. It will serve multiple purposes, including firefighting, rescue operations, handling CBRNE incidents, hazmat decontamination, dive missions, and other water-based emergencies.
