During one of my early experiences riding with Snorkel Squad 1 (SS1) in Chicago, we took in a 2-11 3-11 Alarm fire on the north side at night. That’s about all the detail that I remember. I don’t have a date or address, and by the time we got on the scene most of the fire was out.

**okay – it turns out that I have notes that the 3-11 was at 5730-36 N. Western Avenue on July 18, 1980.

We took in another fire that night in a small restaurant. Here are a few of the images that were scanned from Extachrome slides.
