My new book is out....A wide and interesting array of images featuring Chicago Fire Department apparatus. Engines, trucks, tower ladders, snorkels and many special units working on the fireground. All are large format and loaded with detail, with informative captions. A good source of information for anyone with an interest in the fire service..

My name is Steve Redick and I am a senior fire alarm operator with the Chicago Fire Department...I have been on the job for about 27 years now..and have been a "fan" since the late 1960s. I have been an active fire photographer most of my life and have a large collection of images. I hope to share most of my collection on this site. I am starting off the galleries with the photos taken in the 1950s and 60s by my father Warren Redick who is a retired CFD Battalion Chief..He now lives in Bull Shoals Arkansas. He was an early adopter of Kodachrome film and has many images I consider to be unique and classic. I will endeavor to post most of his work first as this seems to be the images most in demand. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I do and please note that you can order many size prints of ANY of the images you see here..but remember my main purpose here is to share these images with the "firefans" of the world..Be sure and check back often as this is a work in progress!
