On the TV show Chicago Fire, there is a red cane looking device hanging on a wall, shown in some shots behind the actors.
Any idea what this is? Thanks |

It wasn't like that pike pole or the ladder. Searching for vintage fireman cane turned up nothing. |

I don’t like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

Hose hook?

Hard to tell without a picture. I’ve not watched the show.

Per the internet "Chicago Fire + cane" it is Otis' cane. An injured firefighters that returned to duty.

Otis' Cane on returning to duty
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btiirlt4_9o at 0:48 That's why it's not found searching vintage fire fighter tools. Thanks PS, this has had me wondering for a few years, wonder no more! |

I remember seeing similar items in USAF hangars and maintenance shops back in the day. I think they were non-conductive material so you could pull somebody away from a live electric circuit without endangering yourself.

Our idea of a rough TDY was if the hotel did not have a swimming pool.
|
Otis should not have been able to return to work with a cane.

What I learned from this thread: OP is the only person who watches that TV show.
|
|

I read this thread this morning when it only had a few responses and my curiosity was piqued.
Then, I see it active again this evening and think "oh, great, what interesting piece of equipment is this" I'm disappointed. |
