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 found them fascinating. While researching my family’s history, I came across some old photographs that I believe could be of interest. A friend recently suggested I share them here to see if anyone might have insights or expertise.
These three photos (attached) are part of my collection, and I’m trying to determine their dates and any other details. Based on what I know about my great-grandfather’s service, I think these images might date back to between 1918 and 1924. This is because his fireman’s badge has the year 1918 engraved on it, and he was involved in the Curran Hall Fire in 1924. It’s possible that the men in the photos were from Engine Company 5.
I’m not very familiar with the uniforms, equipment, or specific details from that time period, so I would greatly appreciate any help from those who might have knowledge in this area. If you can identify the company, location, or even the names of the individuals in the photos, it would mean a lot to me.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Anne
