Harvard Fire Protection District news (more)

Excerpts from the Northwestherald.com:

The Harvard Firefighters’ Association helped raise more than $10,000 for a 30-year veteran of the Harvard Fire Protection District who recently was diagnosed with cancer.

In September, the association hosted a fundraiser called “Fight for Phil” to benefit Firefighter Phil Jacobs, who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He has been undergoing chemotherapy, radiation treatment and stem cell transplants.

Vintage Chicago Fire Department 4-11 audio recording 8-11-83

4-11 Alarm fire at 1441 S Wabash

This from Steve Redick:

I have opened my audio archive to share the radio traffic from this job. One of the FAO voices to recognize was Phil McMahon, many old timers will remember him. Dick Hyland answered the 911 call and gave out the still. On the field side many will recognize Louis Galante as the responding deputy in his days prior to being fire commissioner. Ed Altman was 221 that day.
