History of Engine 109 courtesy of Joe O'Brien - 

Engine 109 and Truck 32 were organized in 1907 in a brand new 2 story, 2 bay fire house at 2358 S. Whipple. 1906 and 1907 were busy growth years for the CFD, equipment wise, during which time 500 new hanging harnesses were purchased and installed for a quicker “push out”. In addition, 24 new steam engines were purchased, along with 50 new Hose wagons. 1 new aerial trailer and 7 straight frame ladders. 17 engines and 5 trucks were added to the department fleet, and 16 new fire houses were being built or planned.  
 
In 1974 Engine 109 received their Mack MB which they had until 1986...the engine was then refurbished for quick water. Truck 32 has been produced by Fire Replicas, with the 1954 FWD, and the 1996 Seagrave rear mount. For those of you that collect Westside companies Engine 109 is for you. 
 
In 2011 a new firehouse was built for Truck 32 and Engine 109 at 2343 S. Kedzie Ave. Engine 109 has been serving Chicago in the South Lawndale community for 118 years.
