This from Austin Lawler:
I came across this slide show of some of the different dogs at CFD firehouses, on the Vintage Tribune instagram page. I thought maybe some of the readers would find this interesting.Austin
The Chicago Fire Department announced today that it will no longer allow dogs at firehouses after a firehouse dog killed a family pet near a fire station. In remembrance, VintageTribune pulled together photos from years past of firehouse dogs and their firefighter owners.

I thought that was the purpose of the dogs in later years. Was to keep invaders out of the firehouse. That’s a crying shame that they had to resort to pulling them out completely. I would further say that the dog probably cost the city money?

It’s a shame to see the end of one more tradition.

Very sad that people have this all or nothing attitude.
