Dan McInerney from the Oak Park and Countryside Fire Departments shared a link to the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) website, which highlights recent updates about the department’s new fireboat.
The following details were taken from the official CFD website:
The Chicago Fire Department is acquiring a brand-new NFPA Type III fireboat to replace its 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 support firefighting operations, emergency rescue missions, and response to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) incidents. Additionally, it will be equipped for hazmat decontamination, underwater diving operations, and other water-based emergencies. |
