Some serious fire back then, serious fire!!!!! none of these medical aids we run on now! should be called the medical aid/fire department lol, go go chicago
Hi: Around 1960-62, this boy lived at 1659, same block as the old firehouse at 1623 N. Damen. I hung around there after school a lot. I'm still strange for all I know. The photos from those days trigger many memories. This is precious history. Thanks very awesome much!!! I hope there's more to be found somewhere. Sign me still a silly kid after all these years in a bigger, older body! ~JBK
thanks... did you see all three parts? I should probably put the ending message at the end of each part because I've noticed that not everyone watches all three. thanks again

Excellent video. They don't make fire apparatus like they used to. The ones in the video are true classics.

I think this was very cool, all my family was from bucktown since 1882. Again very cool.
