Engine 39 arrived at the 2-11 alarm yesterday. This is a 1999 HME Luverne engine. Jeff Rudolph photo Squad 1 was shutting down their master stream as the fire was brought under control on 33rd Street. In the background, a reserve tower ladder’s master stream was still active. Jeff Rudolph photo Engine 8 was also pumping at the scene. Their unit is a 2002 Spartan Luverne. Jeff Rudolph photo Squad 1 used their Snorkel unit for an elevated master stream. These 55' Snorkels have been a common sight with Chicago’s Squad companies for years. However, their future is uncertain since American LaFrance, the manufacturer, no longer produces them. Jeff Rudolph photo Out of the 96 engine companies in Chicago, about 15 still operate these HME SFO/Luverne engines, which have a shorter wheelbase. Here, Engines 39 (1999) and 28 (1997) are seen pumping side by side at the 2-11 alarm — a rare sight.
