Photos: Chicago Engine Company 115 Ribbon Cutting

Fire photographer Tim Olk recently shared some photos from the ribbon cutting ceremony for Engine Company 115, the largest station ever built in Chicago.

According to the Public Building Commission of Chicago, the 27,000-square-foot, single-story fire station will be a home-away-from-home for approximately 20 firefighters/EMTs and eight officers: housing sleeping quarters, locker rooms, a workout facility, full-service kitchen with pantry and dining area, day room, laundry, and wellness room.
