🧊🧊Awesome trip busting up some ice heading to dry dock yesterday for a quick haul out! The Fred A Busse was originally built to function as an icebreaker as well as a Fireboat, and it was a pretty amazing experience to be able to do just that! 1st time we’ve gotten to do that with the Busse, 88 years old and handled it like a champ! Stay tuned for dry dock pictures and videos coming soon!🧊🧊

Great night at the Business Project’s inaugural fundraiser! Not only do they help Veterans get into business but are also a huge resource for anything related to our community of Veterans.
They were an integral part in Chicago Fireboat Tours and we can’t say enough great things about this organization and their mission. If you’re a Veteran and need assistance or guidance, business or personally, look them up and get in touch!

If you’re an individual or business looking for ways to give back or support Veterans with time, mentorship, or donations, head to https://veteranbusinessproject.org for more info. Your donations will be going to a good cause and directly impact the lives of Veterans.

Thanks for the spotlight, Veteran Business Project!

Without your guidance and partnership, we would have not been able to start our business and get to where we are today.

Fantastic organization with a great purpose, reach out to them if you’re a Veteran looking to become a business owner!
