Chicago Fire Department history

This from Danny Richardson:

Hello does anyone know these Chicago Firefighters from 1982? I was at Engine 50 truck 18 visiting from London (ex London Fire Brigade) and spent some time at what they called the Snake Pit! going on calls . If you can help or put me in touch with anyone that can I would appreciate it.  

Kind Regards Danny Richardson

The young buck in the pic is me. Good memories.
