Many people in the Chicago area are familiar with Steve Redick, a Senior Fire Alarm Operator with the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) and a contributor to this site. Steve's father, Warren Redick, had a long and distinguished career with the CFD before retiring. A passionate photographer, Warren captured the spirit of the fire service through his lens. Starting in the 1950s, he was ahead of his time by using Kodachrome slides—uncommon at the time when most photographers still shot in black and white. His eye for composition and perfect exposure led to a stunning collection of images that showcase the CFD’s equipment, firefighters, and dramatic moments from the 1950s and 1960s.
Steve describes the book as:
> "An historical photo retrospective of the Chicago Fire Department. The book features several hundred brilliantly restored Kodachrome images of the men, apparatus, and fires from the 1950s and 1960s. It also includes historical data such as dates, locations, and equipment details, along with interesting facts and anecdotes. This is a must-see book filled with rare photos from a bygone era in Chicago firefighting."
