This from Brian P. Kazmierzak:

While on my way to O’Hare Airport the other day, I took a side trip off the Dan Ryan to Al’s Beef and to drive by the old quarters of Engine 61/Ambulance 36 (5349 S. Wabash).  I spent a lot of time “fanning” in that firehouse from 1993-1999.  The firehouse, which was last in-service as EMS South before they moved to the new Engine 16’s quarters, has been given to the African American Firefighters Museum.  There are some pretty neat historic graphic stickers on the window.  Here are a couple photos.
