Backdraft

Driving to the fire

[ladreamin]

The shot of the two firetrucks coming up and over the hill together is one of my favorite shots in any film EVER.

The most recognized engine from the movie would be Engine 17. Engine 17 started service with the Chicago Fire Department in July of 1970. This1970 Ward LaFrance Pumper was first assigned to Engine Co. 8. The pumper was later assigned to Engine 18. In 1987, it was refurbed with a Ranger cab and E-One body before it was given to Ron Howard's production group in July of 1990. Ron Howard used Engine 18 (portrayed as Engines 17 & 51 in the movie) until February of 1991. After the filming of the movie, the apparatus was given to Engine 69 were it remained in-service until 1995 when it was disposed of.

Shake & Bake Boys, I think we've got a barbecue lol.
I have ALWAYS wanted to use that line on the way to a fire call lol.
When I was a volunteer fireman in the 90's some smartass decided to keep marshmallows in the cab. EVERYONE who saw that was rolling laughing.

I saw this when it first came out in theaters, I was in junior high in New York. Still one of my favorites.
