Travel America, Sept-Oct, 2005

O'Leary's Chicago Fire Truck Tours gives visitors a chance to see the city from atop a shiny red antique fire truck. The oldest vehicle in the fleet dates back to 1948. The one-hour trip ($20 for adults, $10 for children, seniors and active military) focuses on the 1871 Great Fire, which legend says was caused by Mrs.

O'Leary's cow knocking over a lantern in the barn. Contact: O'Leary's, (312) 287-6565; www.olearysfiretours.com.
