CFD HIT 5-1-1 apparatus

There's been an ongoing discussion from a previous post regarding the history of the CFD Hazardous Incident Team apparatus 5-1-1. Below are several images that illustrate how this unit has evolved over the years.
Chicago Fire Department 4-7-5

Before becoming a full-time hazmat unit, this 1979 Chevy Stepvan (G-418) was used for hazmat incidents. It had the designation 4-7-5 and was assigned to the Emergency Preparedness & Disaster Services. Bill Friedrich collection.

These photos provide a visual timeline of how the CFD’s hazardous incident response capabilities have developed over time, showing the transition from older models like the 1970 Mack MB/Platt to more modern units designed specifically for hazmat operations. Each vehicle played a key role in shaping the current setup of the Hazardous Incident Team.
