Hi,My name is Michael Byerline. I snapped this picture while on a recent trip to Chicago on December 20th and I’m trying to get it to the wonderful woman who’s in it. I feel like she’d really enjoy having this. Based on the captain’s helmet in the background I’m thinking she’s a part of engine 113? Her helmet says Ambulance 2, I’m not sure if that’s run out of the same facility or not. If you know of anyone I can contact to try to get this picture to her that’d be amazing. Thank you very much!Best,Michael Byerline, Jr.

Perhaps Local 2 can help you get in touch with her now that you know who she is and that she is retired.
It looks like the photo was taken in front of Marshall Fields (Macys) on State Street where they have members of Local 2 acting as bell ringers for a day to help the Salvation Army. I know that firefighters used show up in their turnout gear years ago and apparently they still do.
Engine 113 and Engine 11 where Ambulance 2 is currently located are about 11 and a half miles apart anyway.

That’s Linda Meenan. She retired a few years ago from ambulance 2
