🔥OLD SCHOOL🔥 oliver7garden garden Chicago Fire Alarm Office receiving an alarm for a basement fire. Engine 69 (Backdraft Engine 17) taking the call... Chicago FD 1970 Ward LaFrance P80 Ambassador / 1989 Ranger - EOne (D-374). Originally delivered to Engine 103 but wouldn’t fit so it was reassigned to Engine 8 and served Chinatown until 1982. Served as a shop spare Engine until being rehabbed in 1989. In 1990 Ex Engine 8 was marked as Engine 17 and used in the Ron Howard movie Backdraft. After filming was completed in 1991 the movie Engine 17 was sent back into service at Engine 69 and served until 6/13/95. Sold to a junkyard in Minnesota in 1997 and was rescued by it’s current owner in 2003 who has restored it back to Engine 17.
