Chicago FD 6-3-1 high expansion foam unit

This message is from Kyle Bernaciak:

I wanted to share a few photos I took of the 6-3-1 high expansion foam unit during a training exercise back in September. These images really capture the unit in action. The drill involved Engine 26, Truck 7, and Engine 103, and it was led by Battalion 4.

Engine 103 participated in this drill because, if either Engine 26 or Truck 7 is unavailable, they're the next unit on standby to operate the 6-3-1. I was told that Battalion 4 also plans to conduct similar drills with other units in their area to ensure everyone is familiar with the equipment.

The 6-3-1 is incredibly valuable in situations where fires need to be "smothered," such as in basements, confined spaces, or small storefronts. It's a critical tool for firefighters when traditional methods aren't sufficient.

It’s always interesting to see how these specialized units are used in real scenarios. I think it’s important for the public to understand the variety of tools available to firefighters. This kind of training helps keep everyone prepared and ready for any situation.
