A request for assistance …

From A. Pete Bingham:

Back in the 1950’s my father was a Chicago firefighter, with Engine Co. 103 at Harrison and Laflin.

From 1952 to 1959

As a result of the Our Lady of the Angels School fire, he became a LT. inspector with the Fire Prevention Bureau.

Would anyone have a company picture from any of those years?
