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 |

Maybe an old pike pole. Typically used for poking holes and pulling down ceilings or breaking windows.
Did it look somthing like this?

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

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RedSS454: High rise nozzle? Doubtful. I'm guessing an old "slam" type nozzle sometimes referred as piercing. In for a picture so I can figure it out. |

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.

Otis should not have been able to return to work with a cane.

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. |
