This message is from Jim Fisher:
Here are some rare photographs taken by my father, Ralph Fisher, showcasing the Des Plaines and Niles Fire Departments in 1940-1941. These images offer a unique glimpse into the history of local firefighting efforts during that era.

These photos not only capture the bravery and dedication of firefighters but also highlight the community spirit of the time. The Morton Grove Fire Show was a significant event, bringing people together to celebrate and honor the work of local emergency services. It's amazing to see how much has changed over the decades, yet the importance of these services remains as strong as ever. If you have any additional information or stories about these events, I'd love to hear them!
