In the bustling heart of the Chicago area, many people either know or have heard about Steve Redick, a seasoned Senior Fire Alarm Operator with the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) and a regular contributor to this platform. Steve's dad, Warren Redick, wrapped up his illustrious career with the CFD quite some time back. Warren was not just a firefighter but also an ardent photographer with a deep passion for capturing moments of the fire service in action. Starting in the 1950s, he was ahead of his contemporaries by opting for Kodachrome slides when most others were still stuck with black-and-white photography. His knack for composition was exceptional, and his exposure settings were always impeccable, resulting in a stunning collection of dramatic and visually captivating images showcasing the CFD’s vehicles, both stationary and in operation.
Steve himself describes the book as:
“A historical photo retrospective of the Chicago Fire Department. The book presents hundreds of beautifully restored Kodachrome images depicting the firefighters, their equipment, and firefighting scenes from the 1950s and 1960s. Alongside these images, there’s a wealth of historical data, including precise dates, locations, and details about the gear used, along with fascinating stories and anecdotes. It’s a must-see compilation of rarely seen photographs from a bygone era in Chicago firefighting.â€
