This from Mike Summa:
For throwback Thursday, here is a picture of one of the Blue Island Fire Dept.’s three auxiliary stations built in the 1880’s. This one was in my neighborhood, on High St. on the east side of town. These stations lasted until about 1916 when the department went motorized and all three auxiliary stations were closed. This station was still around until the 1960’s when it was torn down to make way for a new house.Mike Summa
