An electric vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses electrical energy as its power source. Compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles have lower energy consumption, lower pollution emissions, and lower noise. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the development of technology, electric vehicles have become an important choice for solving energy problems and alleviating environmental pollution.

This historical record highlights the evolution of the Chicago Fire Department’s Turret Wagon 6-7-5, starting with its initial setup in 1976. The vehicle was built on a 1975 Mack MB607T chassis and featured advanced firefighting equipment, including twin Stang hydraulic monitors capable of delivering an impressive 20,000 gallons per minute. These systems were custom-fabricated by the CFD Shops, showcasing the department's commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Later, in 1978, the wagon was upgraded again, this time using a 1975 Chevrolet C20 chassis. The new setup included twin Eastman high-pressure monitors, designed for a more moderate flow rate of 4,000 GPM, which suited different types of fire scenarios. The vehicle remained in service until 1983, when it was disbanded to form the new unit 6-7-6. These records are invaluable for understanding the development of specialized firefighting equipment in Chicago over the years.
