This is a message from Steve Redick:
Here's the radio traffic from a 3-11 alarm at a disaster plan 3 incident at the infamous 6531 Lowe building. This happened early in the morning while my dad was chief in the 12th Battalion. The chief who usually took over, Bill Foran, was still on duty in the big buggy and hadn’t been relieved yet, so he responded as the division marshal. The captain of Truck 20, who had some classic radio replies, was Richard Fitzpatrick. The voice you hear from the Englewood office was Harry Haddon in his prime. This building had extremely long hallways, and masks weren’t commonly used back then—people were just hanging around everywhere. It was quite the scene.

It's fascinating to look back at these old recordings and photos. They give a real sense of what it was like during those intense firefighting operations. The radio traffic captures the urgency and chaos of the moment, and the images help bring that time to life. These stories are important for preserving the history of our fire departments and the brave men and women who served. If you're interested in more historical fire scenes or radio traffic, feel free to ask—I have a few more to share.
