Chicago Fire has become one of my favorite television series so it was a real treat to see one of Chicago’s actual fire stations. This is their Chinatown station.

Truck Company 4

The fire truck just pulled out so they must be ready to go on a call. That’s lucky for me but very bad luck for whoever needs their services. I hope that it’s nothing too serious.

I would have been happy just to see a real Chicago firehouse but to see them going out on an actual call was an unexpected bonus! I had been thinking about dropping in at the firehouse, just to visit,Læs mere

2. maj 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F
Kathy is starting to get a bit grumpy which tells me that she’s really hungry. With all the traveling, and exploring, we’ve done today, that’s completely understandable. I hope our food is ready soon!

Not only does a river run through Chicago but trains also pass by. This is so different from what I’m used to seeing. I like it so much!
