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.

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!
