Fire Museum of Greater Chicago

On Saturday, the Fire Museum of Greater Chicago opened its doors for a special preview event, giving visitors a glimpse into the progress made so far. While the museum is not yet fully open or completed, the amount of work that has already been done is impressive. Over 70 attendees came to explore the space, where they could see an Ahrens-Fox pumper, several static exhibits including historic uniforms, buckets, helmets, scale models, an old fire alarm board, artwork, and photographs. The building itself looks great, with its red bay doors adding a striking touch to the exterior. The 5-11 Club Canteen provided refreshments, and homemade pastries were available for snacking. Steve Redick was there with his camera, capturing some memorable shots of the event. His photos offer a visual look at the museum's progress and the history it aims to preserve. One of the highlights was the exterior of the building, which once served as the quarters for Engine 123. A close-up of the stonework on the building shows the craftsmanship that remains, while a historical painting now part of the collection adds a touch of nostalgia. A vintage map from the Englewood Alarm Office gives a sense of the past, and a restored amplifier panel used by Steve during his time at the office serves as a reminder of the technology that once powered emergency responses. Steve also posed with the amplifier panel, and a photo from the 1980s shows him in front of the same equipment, highlighting the connection between past and present. These items are more than just artifacts — they tell the story of firefighting in the area and the people who dedicated their lives to protecting the community. The Fire Museum of Greater Chicago is shaping up to be a valuable tribute to this rich heritage.
