This from Nick Nezri:
On 11-14-15, I was privileged to be able to go on an airfield tour of O’Hare Airport, which was set up by the ORD Airport Watch planespotting group. Lucky for me, nearly all of the ORD based CFD companies were conducting training at rescue station one, so our tour added a stop. I was able to photograph a variety of the rigs, and was even given the opportunity to go inside 6-5-8. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone at the CFD for welcoming us to their station with no advance notice, moving the rigs for better photos, displaying their equipment, and answering all of our members questions! It was really appreciated!

Passing through O’Hare the other morning, the sun was perfect for photos on the apron of Rescue 3 and I was able to get shots of most of the apparatus there.
