This from Mike Summa:

Hello,
On the Chicago Tribune web-site, I found an interesting photo slide-show that I would like to share.  In the slide-show, there are pictures from the 1940s and 1950s of the Palos Heights Volunteer Fire Department.  I enjoyed looking at this, and I thought that others might enjoy it also. Here is the link
Thank you,
Mike S.
