Most of Chicago's 50 aerial trucks are identical to this example, although there are also an additional 10 "Towers". These are substantially the same 100 foot rear mounts on tandem axle Pierce chassis, but with baskets.
They do not have pumps or water tanks, but do all carry an extensive suite of rescue equipment in addition to a full complement of ground ladders, and respond to RTAs along with an Engine.
T 19 is quartered on West Chicago Avenue and shares accommodations with Engine 14, Battalion 3, Ambulance 53 and the Collapse Rescue Shoring Unit.
