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 respected career with the CFD before retiring. Beyond his service, Warren was also a passionate photographer who captured the spirit of the fire department through his lens. Starting in the 1950s, he was ahead of his time by using Kodachrome slides when most photographers still shot in black and white. His eye for composition and precise exposure techniques led to a stunning collection of images—both posed and action shots—showcasing the CFD's equipment and firefighters. Steve describes the book as: An incredible historical photo retrospective of the Chicago Fire Department. The book features several hundred beautifully restored Kodachrome images from the 1950s and 1960s, capturing the men, apparatus, and fires of that era. Alongside the photos, it includes detailed historical data such as dates, locations, equipment specs, and fascinating stories and anecdotes. This is a rare and must-see collection of images from a unique time in Chicago firefighting history.
