To whom it may concern,
I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been following the historical photos shared on the Chicago Area Fire site, and I’ve found them truly fascinating. While researching my family’s history, I came across a few old photographs that I believe might be of interest. A friend recently suggested I share them here in hopes of getting some expert opinions.
I’m currently trying to determine the dates and other details related to these three photos (attached). Based on what I know about my great-grandfather’s service, I think they could date back to between 1918 and 1924. This is partly because his fireman’s badge is marked with the year 1918, and he was involved in the Curran Hall Fire in 1924. It’s possible the men in the photos are from Engine Company 5.
Although I have a growing interest in this period, I’m not very familiar with the uniforms, equipment, or specific details of the fire departments from that time. I’d really appreciate any insights or additional information anyone might have. If there are any experts or enthusiasts who could help identify the dates, locations, or individuals in the photos, I would be incredibly grateful.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Anne
