O'Leary's Fire Truck Tours

Description

It was once believed that the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was caused by a cow, owned by a woman named O'Leary, which when she tipped over a lantern. A competing legend exonerates the hapless bovine, placing guilt on Peg Leg Sullivan, who not only started the blaze, but also framed the cow. The Fire Truck Tours recount these stories and fill in any missing details. Climb aboard a vintage fire truck and view the damage caused by Chicago's famous conflagration.

Firetruck rides

I rode the firetruck with my son and my friends son at the Eli Fest today and my son was very excited about riding it. he got to sit in a seat right behind the driver so he felt like he was a fire man he said later. Well worth the fun!
