Trees Are Tough
From the CFD crash we posted about yesterday:
They were responding to a call, lights and sirens, when struck by a pick-up truck.
We would have thought the bumper would have held up better than that, but we suppose it did what it was supposed to do.

Tree huggers. Bumpers that is. Liberal design.
That’s one way to get the cat out of the tree!
Cool old Stang
Now they'll get some beater reserve engine that was ready for the scrap yard. They'll get some hospital tape to number the doors.
Someone write them a citation for parking on the sidewalk.
I guess the city will be one less fire truck for a while now. BJ will be looking for the best scrap pricing
Bumpers are made for bumps. That is a ka-pow.
Now kees me you fool!!!!
That'll buff right out!
My condolence to the bumper
2 piece bumper, split in the middle?
Stupid CFD policy: Firefighters are trained to put on their air tank BEFORE getting on the rig to go to a fire run. Therefore they can't put their seat belts on.
Fuck the fire. Protect yourself FIRST.
Take another twenty years to replace that truck.....
Were the city that works.
LOL, there was more damage to a 60,000 lb truck then to the tree!
Hey uncle Lar, is the tree going to be alright??
Excuse me, you can’t park there !
Trees have feelings too.
With Chicago’s luck it was brand new and on its first run. Now it will take 10 years to replace.
Hope the crew is ok, but utilizing their contractual medical benefits to the fullest.
It's not an exaggeration that this company will now be a in 20+ year old spare for at least a year, as the departments fleet of spare apparatus is literally in violation of federal law because a department of our size has to maintain a fleet of a certain amount of spares.
Tree One - Firetruck Zero.
just some bumper hose storage damage. Didn't even break the windshield. Someone said the driver was looking for wood and found it.
Sgt EG from 007 claims he saved the firemen and went IOD…. Again. POS
Remember the old Checker Marathon taxis with the big water-filled bumpers that had a row of blowout plugs along the top?
***SPLORT***
my old company so many cups so little time
License and Ins please...
If no CFD or Private Citizen was killed or injured, this is not— say again, not— a big deal. Vehicles exist to protect Human Life, not the other way around.
Nice! The tree is city property I hope!
Just park it back at the fire house, parking lot damage
Wrong...
