Chicago Fire Department history

This from Andrew McCullough:

Here are a few more of my dad’s old slides. The descriptions on the slide tray are:
 
2-3: Truck 31
2-5: Squad 2’s rig at E5’s house (not sure why the rig says 6, taken in 1966)
2-6: Salvage #1 (281)  at E5’s house (taken in 1966. The Autocar squad is behind, and the gas truck is barely showing on the left of the frame)
2-8: My first rig as engineer on E5 – 1952 FWD (taken in 1966 in front of E5’s house).
2-31: Still alarm 700 W Jackson
2-32: Still alarm 700 W Jackson
2-33: Still alarm 700 W Jackson
2-35: Still alarm 700 W Jackson
