FireFleitz said...: The top two pictures are the Vigilant Fire Company which was located at Jefferson and Kirk. The pictures were taken at different times. The station on the bottom left was Friendship Fire Company #3. The station on the bottom right was Alert Fire Company # (?) That is all I know about this fire company as this is the first picture I have seen of it.; 1:47 PM
FireFleitz said...: The man in the middle top is Chief MCFALL. I will work at trying to figure out the rest. They are probably all past Chiefs although I do not have the list of Chiefs in front of me to cross-reference the names and I cannot figure out the exact spellings by the picture.; 1:59 PM
