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

This from Andrew McCullough:

This is a scan of one of my father’s slides. He was engineer on E5 at the time. The engine is a 1969 Seagrave 1500 GPM. It was close to new here, so this must be 1969-70.

Location is E5’s quarters 324 S Desplaines St. Photo by the late John McCullough.

This is the first of what we hope are several posts from Andrew McCullough:

These were taken by my father John McCullough in the 60s. He was a Chicago fireman for many years. He passed away a few years ago, and I’ve started scanning some of his old slides. All of these were taken by John McCullough or someone else in the house that he handed the camera to. This group is from 1969 and early 70s.

Best,

Andrew
