Firegeezer.com has sent an interesting image of a copy of Fire Engineering Magazine from November 1953
The caption reads:
Firemen of Chicago Heights, Ill., use [a] heavy plank as [a] battering ram to force [a] door to [the] basement of City Hall. Two prisoners were trapped in the cells located therein, one perishing before help could reach him.
We’re wondering if any of our readers has more information on this incident?
