Remember Chicago

This past week was Fire Prevention Week. The purpose for this you may ask?

"Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on October 9, 1871."
Yesterday was the day almost 200 years ago the city almost burned to ruins. To commemorate it today we are going to post a few pictures from the past of our VFD in Pinedale.

The first Picture was taken in 1965 or Bob McFarland driving, D.M Roy in the passenger seat. And Wilfrid Edwards, the Chief standing next to the vehicle.
The second picture of a pinedale fire truck by the courthouse. The people in the picture are Buz Burzlander, Carroll R Noble (as Santa) Harry Steele and Harold Faler.

Thank you past and present firemen for risking your life's to keep ours safe!
