In the bustling city of Chicago, many residents are familiar with Steve Redick, a seasoned Senior Fire Alarm Operator for the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) and also a valued contributor to this site. His father, Warren Redick, has long since retired from the CFD after a remarkable career. Warren was not only passionate about firefighting but also an enthusiastic photographer who captured countless moments of the department's activities. Starting in the 1950s, he stood out by using Kodachrome slides when most others were still shooting in black and white. With an exceptional talent for composition and precision in his exposures, Warren amassed a stunning collection of vibrant images showcasing the CFD's vehicles, both in action and posed.
Steve describes their collaborative effort, a new book, as follows:
"This is an engaging photographic journey through the history of the Chicago Fire Department. Featuring hundreds of meticulously restored Kodachrome images from the 1950s and 1960s, it highlights the firefighters, equipment, and unforgettable blazes of that era. Alongside these captivating visuals, we’ve included detailed historical data such as dates, locations, and technical specifications, along with fascinating stories and anecdotes. It’s a treasure trove of rarely seen photographs capturing the essence of firefighting in a bygone era."
